Here we go....

I cant believe it has been 10 months since I last posted.. I dont even know where to start. Anybody still out there?  I am going to try and pick up blogging again since we will be so far away from all our family now, and I really want to document this new adventure we have begun....
My life has been completely insane for the past 2 months.. Kenta unexpetedly got an amazing job offer in Phoenix and he took it... Me being the good wife that I am decided to support him in this career move and follow him... Even though I really didnt want to move. 
 He has been living there for  the past 6 weeks while I have been in Ohio being a single mom to my 3 crazy boys.. Not only being a single mom but trying to prepare to move across country.. Looking for a new house for us in phoenix, looking for renters to rent my Ohio house, prepare my house for renters, clean out and attempt to pack some of  my house, all while doing the regular day to day stuff moms do.. During all this Chaos I have still been trying to wrap my head around the idea of moving so far away when I was sure I would be in Ohio for much much longer. I really grew to love it there.
This honestly has been the most emotionally and physically challenging  2 months of my life. I am not really sure how I or my kids for that matter have survived....
Im here in Phoenix right now sitting in a Marriott.. I have been here 3 days now waiting for my moving truck to arrive with all my stuff. Still not happening till monday...
 My mom wanted to keep my kids in Ohio for an extra  week   so I could have that alone time putting my house together.. My sister in law even flew out with me to help me.. So much for that idea. My stuff comes Monday and I leave back to Ohio on wednesday to pick up my boys and bring them back to Arizona with me..
So far I am not impressed with Phoenix.... Just hot, brown and ugl,y but I really am going to do my best to keep an open mind and a positive attitiude. 
I dont usually adapt to big changes  well but realize this time around I have to put on a brave happy face for my boys.. :)
Today is the first day since I have been here that I actually feel like this is all REALLY  real now... Maybe because I started painting my boys rooms, so it feels official now... Wierd I know but I think thats really true, and  I feel physically ill.... Hopefully its just the pizza I ate for dinner.
