So Many Changes

There are so many changes on the horizon, and I am so welcome to them!  Although our departure dates aren't set for sure yet, we know it will be about 3 weeks.  I wanted to avoid scrambling and trying to figure everything out all at once, so I began home school applications early.  I was surprised at how quick Hunter's went through-our supplies won't even be here until next week,but  he has already begun classes!  This program we are doing is awesome, it makes it easy for me and fun for him.  He is interested, and we are able to get the work done quickly.  I am glad it is taking longer for Audrey's application.  She will be continuing at Yuba Feather a few days, which will give me time to establish a routine with Hunter (who is sure to be the more difficult student!) and she will be able to share a few more days with her friends!

There have been a few moments in the past weeks which have shown me how much a truly value what I have.  I have a dedicated, fun, loving, compassionate, ambitious, close to perfect partner.   There are two amazing kids we share that are funny, smart, caring, well behaved and have and give so much joy.  As a family we are strong, we love God, we love each other and we are so content to just be us.  I am so thankful for this peace, comfort and security, I promise to not take it for granted, EVER!  As the many changes start barreling in during the next few weeks, I am positive that we are going to get through to the other side better, stronger and happier.  I will so miss my life here, my roots run deep.  I am going to mourn the lack of daily moments with my mom, my dad dropping in just to get hugs from his grandkids because its been a few days, my daily chats with my best girl Erin, my weekly craft days, my daily hellos with all my my peps at the school, breakfast club, the random knocks on the door from Bryan during the day, being embraced by my church family, Modern Family with my Becca.  I am going to miss running in to someone I know and love EVERYWHERE I go.  I am going to miss this place.  But I am so excited about the prospects ahead.....the excitement for learning I will see in my kids faces, actually getting to eat dinner as a family-EVERY NIGHT-, exploring, laughing, just being together.  The past 6 months has been so hard on my heart, I miss my husband's daily presence, I miss seeing him being a daddy, sharing all the little, mundane daily things together.  I need this next 6 months to fill me back up. 

We hope that all those we love will follow us on our journey, that is what this blog is for.  It is for us to feel connected to home, and for home to be with us...
