Venting

Hello. Just wanted to let everyone know I am moving to South Carolina July 10th! I am busy packing and getting ready for the Skidmore Family reunion on July 5th. I hope to enjoy my final weeks in Idaho and I'm trying not to be to stressed about everything. I really loved these past 9 months of living close to family. I couldn't ask for anything more! (except to have Ryan here with me) Grey has formed friendships with cousins and I have grown closer to Ryan's family. I have enjoyed being able to do as I please and go visit my mom and sisters anytime I want. I am really going to miss so many things and people here. I am excited and nervous about this new chapter of our lives in South Carolina. I am trying so hard to have a good attitude about it all and I want to make the most of it. Normally when we move I have a hard time making friends because all I care about is coming home and why should I make friends because I have my sisters, right? But I've come to realize that I should try harder to form friendships and really try to make South Carolina feel more like home. We may be there for a while so I'm going to try and make friends and become part of something there. This probably sounds so silly to some of you, but I hope there are some of you that understand what I mean.

Basically the purpose of me writing this is to let all of you know to not take life for granted. Opportunities come and go and if you don't enjoy them when they come, you'll look back and kick yourself for not making the most of them; they may never come back.

Pleeeeeease call me or email me when I'm away. There's nothing like a phone call from a friend. It makes my day to hear my phone ring and know that someone thought to call me. I love all of you! I will miss all of you!

An Update

Hello everyone. Things have really changed here in the life of the Hammons. Where do I start.....Ryan has accepted a job at the Savanah River Site in South Carolina. He moved there on May 23rd and I will be moving out there sometime in July. We are very excited for this new chapter in our life and what blessings will come from it. So Ryan is there and we are here in Idaho Falls. I hate living apart from Ryan, but soon enough we will be together.
Grey is growing up so fast! She wore her first ponytail yesterday. She doesn't seem to grow hair on the top of her head, only the back, so she has a mullet but she's still a cutie. She can say daddy, kitty, Elly, baby, meow, moo, this, papa, whoops, yes, no ( and it's never just one no...it's no no no no no.) She gives kisses like crazy and she'll come up to me during the day and give me the "one armed" hug. Sooo precious! I love it! She just started throwing tantrums.....don't like that part so much. She's a lot of fun though. I couldn't ask for anything more.
I am trying to keep busy however I can. I clean the house everyday, we are living in a house that is for sale, so I have to keep it clean and staged 7 days a week. It's a beautiful home so I don't mind having to do that. I'm getting my sewing machine out tomorrow to start a quilt for Grey. I'm excited for that. I also keep busy with my crafts, so if you ever need a gift for someone, call me and I'll whip something up for ya.
So that is where we are in our lives right now. I have to say I am so proud of Ryan for working so hard to support our family. I love and appreciate him more and more everyday. I love being able to stay home with Grey and he makes that possible for me. Thank you Ryan! We miss you!
