Well late last night Hillary had to go to the hospital via ambulance because of her appendix. She got out of surgery a little while ago and might get to go home tonight because she did so well in surgery. I don't know all the reasons why but they had to do it standard surgery not laparoscopically.
Its really hard to have her gone, this is her second surgery and third hospital stay since moving to Connecticut and its scary relying on phone calls to know what is going on. If she was here we'd be there waiting to find out what was going on. I wish they'd move home soon, but I know that being out there is what is going to get Steve's career going enough to comfortably support his family so that they can move out here. So as much as I miss them and wish they were home I know that its for the best.
Corrine is trying to find a way to fly out there to be with her while she is recovering, and because she needs a bit of a vacation. I hope she can get a flight that isn't expensive, she's trying to get a buddy pass from a friend of hers. It will be hard though because this Sunday is Jenna's 5th birthday, and she might not be back by then. I hope that it will work out though, I think for Hillary's sake it would be nice to have a visitor.
If Corrine can't go I think that my dad might, but I don't know, it depends on what kind of help they are going to need.
Jake suggested I go too and I would except I have school so I couldn't get away until Thursday which another week wouldn't matter but this Friday is moving day so this week won't work... Maybe another time though.

The move
Well the offer was accepted and we are getting ready to move - again. From what I know we have to be out of the house on the 29th. I think Jake's parents are getting movers to move everything in the house, but we will have to move the stuff from storage. Details will come as I have them for that.

An offer!
Yesterday an offer came in on the house!!! It sounds like a really good offer, it was more than what Jake's parents were asking for (because they want the washer and dryer). And I think that everything will get moving and they will accept and hopefully all the financing will go through super easily and then we can get into the new house! I am so excited!
Not about moving again, but the new house, its huge and awesome! I am thinking we are going to get a big Uhaul and just make one trip to the house with all of our stuff. Where its packed into the storage unit we should be able to find the right size of truck for all of it. Then we will just have our clothes and bed to get from the house which we can do with the Uhaul too.
Hopefully this next move will be easier since we are already packed and ready to go! (plus the parentals will be around to help the day of the move and it will be on our terms not the apartment complexes.)
The only thing that will be hard is that we won't be the only ones moving, Jake's family will also be moving. Luckily its like a mile away from the old house. With all the experience we have now it should be cake! I hope it all happens before Gerry goes to Nauvoo!
