These newlywed's have moved!

Today's quote from my daily quote app on my phone:

One of our greatest gifts is our intuition. It is a sixth sense we all have - we just need to learn to tap into and trust it.

Collectively, Kevin and I have had so much going on recently, it's been a more stressful period than we'd hoped for. Work, doctor's appointments, moving and dreaming of the little babe have been consuming our every second. Now that the move is out of the way (amen.thank god.hallelujah!), it should be easier to get back to the simple life. Spending quality time between work and play. Doing fun summer things like going to the Portland brewfest, taking our nieces to the park and spending lazy Sundays at the Saturday market. Overall, I've been working really hard to keep the stress at bay, especially with baby on board, and I have for the most part been successful at doing so.

I look forward to the next few months. We'll be living back at my parents house with them, their adorable dog Hurley and the little Monst, just relaxing and watching our savings account grow. Living back with your parents at almost-30 isn't the ideal scenario, but we appreciate the fact that we have the ability to do so. We decided to trust our gut instincts by making this move - that it would be best to save more money before the baby comes and what better way than not paying rent? Instead, we'll just be working hard, raking in the dough, planning for Baby G and spending our last summer as newlyweds. Plus, this break from renting gives us the time and energy to find another place at our own pace and not feel pressured to take anything available. Together, we have quite the list of requirements and we'll do our best fulfill most, if not all, of the needs/wants. Although the talk of buying a house still floats to the surface occasionally, we are leaning more towards renting a townhome apartment duplex trailer house! It offers us the freedom of not being stuck in a mortgage during this warped economy and the flexibility of being able to pick up and move if needed. Even though the idea of being homeowners at such a young age seems lovely, I think having a baby is enough pressure excitement for one year.
