Better, even, because I like where I live, unlike where I also (HA HA) own a house. <BR/><BR/>A baby can be moved much easier than a house can be sold, especially now. So with that in mind, my only piece of assvice that I will ever, ever give you on this move is to make sure that it is as permanent as it can be before you buy anything. And figuring that out can take a LONG-ASS TIME.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-15675258001170058162009-02-26T17:23:00.000-07:002009-02-26T17:23:00.000-07:00My husband and I reached that point last summer, a...My husband and I reached that point last summer, and boom!

I have NEVER had a third trimester ZOOM BY so fast! February always seems quick anyway (it's only 2-3 days shorter, but somehow that's highly noticeable), but that year it was like it didn't even HAPPEN.<BR/><BR/>3. I know, right? I'm in my mid-30s and having a bit of what I'm almost sure is a mid-life crisis, and people are all SCOFFY about that. And I get that, in that I think of "middle age" as being fifties. But...35-40 is about as "mid-life" as it gets.<BR/><BR/>4. I had a whole SHELF of baby stuff before Paul and I were even married (though we were living together).

When I hit 25 I was feeling like my life was going ok. I wasnt exactly where I wanted to be but I had attained the only goal I had set for myself which was to finish my degree by my 25th birthday (wrote the last exam the day before!). Looking back though it has turned out to be the worst year of my life. I had never even thought about it being a significant year until reading this post and um wow, it sucked! <BR/><BR/>BUT I am so glad that your life is feeling so together. It sounds amazing and I really admire your patience.
