So much has changed....again.

I just looked at my blog and started laughing.  The last blog was about how everything in our lives were changing.  What a joke!  Little did I know how much things were going to be even different shortly after.

I'm blogging today from our newest new home.  Good ol' Idaho.

I started crying all over again as I read about the guilt I felt moving Mara's schools.  I can't believe we did that to her again.  All in all she's been registered at 3 different kindergartens!!  Luckily she's only attended 2 different ones, because we transferred her records before she began the first one.  Of course, in usual Mara fashion she has handled it like a champ. She's cool like that.

Moving to Idaho was hard for me in some ways and easy in others.  The adventure that awaited us sounded amazing.  Just our little family all on our own for the first time.  I've always loved Idaho and visited it regularly growing up so it didn't seem scary at all.  The chance for Sean to grow in his company (at record speed might I add) was exciting.  He works so hard-he totally deserved this promotion.  Not to mention the pay raise sounded beautiful.  Is that shallow of me to admit?  Well, it's true.

I was apprehensive about it as well.  I was nervous about being all on our own for the first time ever (even though that's part of why I was so excited too).  Would I be an okay mom without all the extra help I'd been receiving since the kids were born?  I've always relied on our families for so much support and it wouldn't be there anymore. Plus, Idaho schools apparently stink.  They're ranked 48th in the nation.

So now we're here.  It's been....interesting/hard/fun/exciting etc.

We were told that Sean would need to travel 1-3 days out of every week, but that it would mostly be only 1 day a week.  Well, we've lived here for a month and he's been gone basically Monday-Friday every week.  He has even worked weekends out of town!

My days are pretty darn boring. The kids are dying to make friends.  We've moved in the winter before and we didn't meet anyone until the Spring when people start coming out of their houses again.  Plus, we don't go to church so that greatly limits our "social" interactions with others.  (That story is for another day...maybe).

Anyways, so much has changed in our lives.  I imagine they're going to keep changing.
