Just Another Wednesday

Just another Wednesday, hanging out with the babe, cooking, cleaning, and recently me, panicking….because I'm moving to Ohio in less than a month. We were given news by the Air Force that we will be packing out and moving back to the good ole US of A!!! I'm super happy but to say my family is happy would probably be the understatement of the year. With such a short move, the hubby and I are now in packing up mood and trying to sell everything we don't need or use and to also purchase everything we love and hold dear in the this beautiful country of Japan that we were so fortunate to live in. One day, I will be back, but for now, I'm happy to be going home to visit with family and start a new….again. One of the many jobs of a military spouse, to be the rock during a PCS…to go with it and remember you can't control everything…so have a glass of wine, and relax :)

So, with my house in a mess, baby running around like a little mad man, and the hubby busy taking care of all the loose ends, I needed a stress free whatever day. So, who do I call, my good friend Deborah to come and rescue me…or to escape to her house :) We ended up spending the day with kiddos, walking to check our mail, grab some yummy (super bad) Taco Bell, and look at nail polishes…yep, we're really exciting.

After an afternoon break so Mr. Chrispy could nap, we decided to walk back to check our mail one more time and to pick up Deborah's car from a Japanese car inspection that costs hundreds of dollars but you have to do it here….because nothing ain't cheap in Japan! I decided that instead of putting Chrispy in a stroller to put him in my Ergo. Now, I haven't put him in the Ergo since he was a real little guy, like under a year little guy, so I thought he might have out grown this whole laying up againt Mommy thing. Nope!

He let me carry him in this thing forever. All tucked away next to Mommy, warm and comfy….half way there, he even fell asleep. I was in heaven!!! Made me so happy that he wasn't too big for this because this is how we are going to be traveling from Japan to the US.

The night ended up with a trip to our local thrift store (our favorite thing to do besides going to Ikea),  reheating some homemade clam chowder, and roasting marshmallows on the stove.

Yep, all the wile Deborah started making up her own version of Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Stove…when you live where you don't have a fireplace and bonfires are not as common as they are in the southern states…you become creative :)

And multi-tasking as she was roasting while tending to her little new babe Asher….PRECIOUS!!! P.S. Please excuse my dirty and unorganized kitchen…I'm moving!

How was your Wednesday? Pretty great after a long weekend. 

Have a Happy Day Y'all!
