life happens

This is an extremely overdue post. I know that I keep saying this but here it is again 'I'm a bad blogger' I forget about posting. Lately its due to the fact that I am in the process of moving. Cassie and I need a fresh start and frankly I just can't afford our current place and this point in my life. I prayed and prayed about what to do, where we should go and when. What came to me was that I need to move to Michigan and go when Cassie gets back from her dads. I hate the thought of going someplace that I have no friends and limited family (my other option that I was strongly debating was Oregon where I have plenty of both). My sister, brother-in law and their kids are there. I feel like there's this strong pull for me to go there. Like we are meant to at this point in our lives to move to be by her. Everything seems to be falling into place as far as moving there is concerned and I feel really good about it. In fact so does Cassie. The day after we discussed it she came to me and said "I feel really good about this" and I said about what. She's like "the move, its going to be really good for us". So on July 23rd we are heading to Michigan. I will very much miss my family here, my friends and work. Plus taking Cassie away from her family, friends and the only life she's known. But like she said this will be good for us. We need the fresh start and to make new memories that don't constantly remind me of the life that Aaron and I had built or in the process of building. I still have to get his "permission" to move out of state or petition the court. I hate that clause. He moved to PA and didn't have to ask me if he could. But that's MN law, in order to remove the child from the state you do. With any luck he will do the right thing since it gets cassie 7 hours closer to him. On to other things.. Cassie left Memorial weekend to go stay with Aaron in PA until July 15th (well 21st because I'm being nice and allowing his parents the extra time to go pick her up and not have to rush back). I miss her ALOT. We talk at least twice a day which is nice and I can't wait for 8am to roll around because we are going to Skype :) She seems to be having a good time. I'm getting late night calls with her upset that she can't sleep and last night she was crying because Aaron yelled at her for talking to me so much. I understand that this is his time with her, but its not like were talking for hours on end. We talk for about 5 mins (sometimes less). I have never limited his communication with her. The only thing is a few times he called after she was asleep and I wasn't going to wake her. Its not our fault that he chooses to only call once or twice a week when she's home. So other then that, I think she's doing good. I'll be out of our house this Friday and then my life will slow down some. This leads to more free time to blog or do whatever. too bad I have no social life so therefore nothing to blog about...lol I'm sure I'll find something to update you all on.
