...and that brings us to now.
We are definitely starting to feel settled into our little life here, although my heart still occasionally aches for Bellingham. Not the destination, per se, but for those that I love that live there. Moving brings change. Change bring discomfort. Discomfort brings tears and open hearts. Open hearts bring learning and growing closer together. Which brings joy, and love. All good things.
It's true, I started school up again. It wasn't an easy decision, but one that felt right at this time in our lives. I knew it would be hard. It has been hard. No surprises there! But, it's been good. I like a good challenge. I also really like supportive husbands.
Jason is a champ - working hard. Every day. And liking it! He is learning a lot. Earning an honest living for his family. We love him! It just feels good to have him back. I am not sharing him with as many things as I was before we moved. I'm all for sharing, but I am enjoying being selfish for now. The girls ask for him all day long and it is like Christmas morning when he finally comes home every evening...EVERY evening! We are spoiled. Lots of hugs and kisses and tickles and laughing abound.
We are healthy and happy.
These next few months will be a whirlwind as well. I will be travelling every month through December. Baby showers. Wedding. Christmas. All happy things! Life really is beautiful.
Hopefully I'll be able to find some time to update occasionally. I like keeping our friends and family up to date on what is going on in our lives. Privatizing has made things interesting. I am not as motivated anymore to write because I think we lost a lot of readers when we went private. Oh well. I'll figure something out. I hope I can get caught up for the most part within the next few days. I have lots of fun pictures to share. Talk to you soon, dear readers.
