So it’s decision time.
I’ve been trying to push all of this to the back of my mind, telling myself that we still have MONTHS before we have to really deal with the concept of Matt moving to Los Angeles. But the truth is, it’s now.
Matt is moving to L.A. in less than a month. Matt is MOVING to LOS ANGELES in less than a MONTH! This is no out-of-town trial that lasts a couple weeks. This is no pack a carry-on and a toothbrush kind of trip. This is no GAH I need a break from my kids thank goodness Matt will be home in a few days type of situation. The man is moving out. For a year.
The king bed will swallow me. I will have to get my own glass of water before bed. The kids will have to settle for Mom as a wrestling partner. I will have to take out the trash. No, wait. Scratch that one. I already do that anyway.
Point is, our home sweet home in Spring, Texas will be Matt-less for 12 months. That fact was starting to make me very, very sad – until I realized that maybe our home wasn’t in Spring, Texas after all. Certainly, we have our lovely house here, but how can it really be home if 1/4 of our family unit is 1,556 miles away? (thank you, GoogleMaps) Home, as you’ve heard, is where the heart is. For Team Boles, the direct translation would be home is where the MATT is.
And so we’re going.
This summer, Parker, Bailey and I will give our cozy house in Spring, Texas a see you later high-five, and head into the waiting arms of our sweet Daddy Matt and a 2-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles, California. I don’t know exactly how long we’ll stay. At this point, there’s just no way to know what this adventure will be like. I never dreamed that Parker would start kindergarten on the west coast! There are so many questions left to answer and details to freak out over, but I am beginning to feel the sheer excitement of the situation creeeeep up inside of me. I know one thing for sure…
We’re going to Disneyland!!
Hopefully she doesn’t take a paci-that’s a hard one to deal with!
