I still can't believe we just moved half way across the country again! I wanted to put all kinds of pictures on here of our new house (well, twin house really) and some recent pictures of the girls to show how much they have grown, but I know if I wait for those pictures to happen, our blog may just never get updated.
Reality is setting in, however. Now that things are mostly put away and we are getting into somewhat of a routine, I have time to catch my breath and think--what did we just do!! Don't get me wrong--I am very excited to be back in the West and closer to family. But I don't think all the ramifications of moving 1,300 miles away from the life we had been living for the last three years was fully processed. Maybe it is better that way sometimes. If I had to dwell on all of the great friends I left behind and how I will miss them, I don't think I would be getting up in the mornings. Fortunately, I am an optimist by nature, and so I think not about the friendships lost, but about the wonderful blessing all of those friends were in my life and how they have made me a better person. Of course I look forward to continuing those friendships for years to come.
