Good-Bye Phoenix, Hello Benson!

Finally! We got the apartment cleaned out, packed the truck up and traveled to Benson!  Although, we have been downsizing all of our furnishings from a three bedroom, house with a pool…to a townhouse, down to a two bedroom apartment, then to a one bedroom apartment we had wayyyy too much “stuff”!  I’ve no idea who brought in most of it..! LOL!

The decision to go ahead and make this first leg of our journey was really hard for us.  My daughter, who is 5 months pregnant was admitted into the hospital to have some lab work done and to check on her kidneys.  We got the news today that, although her kidneys are a bit swollen, there is nothing else wrong with her that having a baby won’t cure.  They have confined her to bed for at least two more months so that the baby can grow and have a better chance of survival.  So in two months, we should be  GRANDPARENTS for the second time..!!!

The weather in Benson is great!  Nice cool breezes and the nights and mornings are actually cool enough to wear a light jacket!

We’ve unloaded the truck and are settling in.  Relaxing from the hectic last couple of days of packing and putting up with the heat in Phoenix! We are taking Maximus on walks and trying to begin learning how to slow down and not be in such a rush.  The latter which has been a challenge for me...but of course, it’s only been two days that we’ve been here in Benson.  I am sure that it won’t take me too long to reprogram my brain to slow down and take it easy!

We are making plans for the upcoming weeks, very exciting plans regarding our short stay here in Benson and our children! 

Stay tuned…
