]]> Our huge transition is almost complete.  We are living in our new area in Eastern NC.  We downsized, sold stuff, given away stuff, packed, and traveled back and forth between residences.  We have begun our new jobs.  Life is still crazy and I just have to say that I miss you all!!!!! 

I am no longer the stay-at-home mom I used to be.  My days used to be full of cleaning, laundry, paying bills, playing with my little one, and managing the household.  Now I’m in a full-time ministry position where I’m helping troubled youth.  Thankfully, our children get to hang out with us while we’re working. 

The first week of work has been very hard, with us putting in 16-17 hour days.  I’m told that things will get better and I know that they will.  Transitions just take time. 

By the way, I haven’t lived in Eastern NC in about 13 years.  I have forgotten what hurricane season is like.  Geesh!  I woke up several times last night to banging, loud rain, and winds.  We’re all safe though.

I hope that in the next few weeks my schedule will calm and that I’ll be “seeing” you more.   :)

]]> We arrived to our new home Saturday night.  My parents brought the kids to us Sunday afternoon.  We really missed them, but it was just impossible to get things done while taking care of them.  We’re in our new place and there are still boxes everywhere.  We haven’t been home long enough to unpack and get settled.  I wanted to make the kids’ transition as smooth as possible, so I tried to get their room put together.  They enjoy seeing their toys getting unpacked. 

As I mentioned before, we got rid of a ton of stuff.  I can tell it with this move.  We still have some things in storage, but it is nothing like it used to be. 

How are things your way?
