This is going to be short and sweet (I think), and lacking pictures today. I have been silent in the blogging arena because we have been in the process of moving. Jeremy started a new job a week after Ellie was born. He was out of town at least three days a week for the past four months because of it. We knew we would be moving to accommodate the job. It was quite an experience being a "single" parent. I was a stay-at-home mom for part of it and a working mom for the other part of it. It was not easy, and it gave me a greater appreciation for single parents.
School ended June 8th, and we moved June 12th to our new home. We rented our former residence out, so we traveled back there to clean one day, and spent the next three days unpacking here. I forgot how long it takes to move into a space. We are renting, and the landlords did a great job fixing the place up - we got new (beautiful) kitchen cabinets, remodeled bathrooms, and new coats of paint. The girls have their own rooms, and our stuff fit just right into our much smaller room. We have a nice big yard and a garage; two things we missed at our old house.
We are much closer to both our families. This is a blessing we will enjoy while it lasts. I am close to a number of friends from high school and church. We have been working to meet neighbors and find things to do. We miss Tara and Grace - our go to walking and playing buddies in Columbus. In fact, I got a message that Grace wanted to play with Madison in the "mountains" (their speak for fountains) the other day, and I started crying. It is hard to leave good friends. I am thankful that her family is from this area as well; so I hope to see her when she comes home sometimes.
I have taken a few pictures, but I am enjoying the moment to just be sitting. I will work to post some pics and another update in the next few days.
