Annnnnnnnnnd, 7 months later I'm back lol. It's finally time to bid farewell to our wonderful friends here :( As much as I complained about Meridian, I have to remind myself how convenient and easy my life was here--working 2 days per week, training on the Bonita trails with dependable running buddies, day care 5 days a week literally across the street from our house, fun friends our age who are always up for a dinner party or poker night. We had it pretty good here. We moved out of our house on Thursday and have been staying on base in the equivalent of a hotel suite (called a BOQ) on base so that I could finish out my last day of work on Monday--TODAY! Tomorrow morning we are headed out to the wild wild west. Unfortunately Finn has a fever of 103 and RSV (a bad respiratory virus) which is going to make the trip so miserable for him :( All that I can do for him is make sure he is hydrated and drinks pedialyte. How frustrating to know that nothing can really be done to make your baby feel better.
Our plan is to make it as far as Little Rock tomorrow. We have booked hotels with indoor swimming pools and in towns that have children's museums so that Finn will have something fun to do after each 6 hour car ride--sadly I think that he might not be up for those things. Then hopefully we will be in Denver by Friday and spend a week with my friend Allison and her fiance!
Stay tuned--I'll keep updating about our move out west.
