Slowly Life Changes but Quickly Life Passes Us By

In the last 3 weeks, Landon has learned to crawl, sit up on his own, pull himself up and stand within a few seconds. My baby is growing so fast. He is taller than I thought he would be. He has the funniest little personality; but is a total attention hog. We have definately created a monster in that department.
I found a job teaching this coming school year in Beaumont, now we are working on finding a home, day care and making sure everything transitions into place smoothly. I have found several apartments I like; however many are hesitant to talk to me because I have not rented in the last year and have not had a steady job. Ya think, I had CANCER last year and could not work full time until Feb. @ that point as a teacher all you can do is sub would be sufficient; however it's not. Anyway, I know God is in control of this situation no mater how frustrated I get. The apartment I was turned down for did not have washer and dryer connections. After thinking about this today I realize how much more convient it will be to have those available. If I don't I will have to lug Landon to whereever the Laundry room is on a regular basis. That will not be fun. At this point he's too big for his infant carrier and snuglie wrap so I would have to just watch him sit and crawl around and those floors are too yucky. So now I am making sure wherever I look does have a washer and dryer connection in the apartment.

I am worried about how things will fall into place. I know everything will work out; however I do not want to stress Landon out and want to make this transition as easy as possible. This job is perfect. Its middle school english 7th and 8th Grade. I am so excited to finally be back in a classroom. I cannot wait to get started. In one way August can't get here fast enough and in another way it could slow down. While I have all the ducks to get lined up I am wanting to make sure I have plenty of time with Landon too. I think that was one reason I wanted that apartment so bad. I wanted to be able to go ahead and get settled and make sure we are settled and have time just he and I. My family doesn't realize how ready I am to have a lazy day in my own house with Landon. Yes, we have days when it's just the two of us but its so not the same. I am ready for this chapter of my life to be over. I have realized though how much Landon has grown while I thought I  was waiting for life to begin. It was passing me up.
