It has been a difficult journey for us in some ways. Abbi had a hard time with the drive, but has adjusted beautifully. We had to leave behind a state that we love when we left Arizona (though we love Texas too). Most of all, it was difficult to leave behind the people that mattered most to us. Thankfully in this modern age, we have technology to help us stay in touch and keep those relationships strong, even if we don't see one another every day.
This move has helped our family in HUGE ways. It is hard for me to even wrap my head around it sometimes, but we are truly moving forward and moving up. We could not have done any of it without the help of my mom, who gave us an incredible gift of a fresh start. Having her living with us has changed us all for the better, and is something I am grateful for every day. More on my views of multi-generational relationships soon - it is a topic that I have learned a lot about and would love to share with you guys before long. For now, just a huge thank you and credit where it is due - my amazing mom.
We are buying a beautiful home with space enough for all of us. Hubby found an incredible job almost as soon as we got here for a great company. I am starting up art lessons here and already have several bookings that will help us out so much to do some extra things and build up our savings. I am also able to expand on my spinning fiber business, which will be kicking off again in the next month. There are awesome opportunities here for the kids. Anna has already made a trip to Sea World with Kevin, and we will be heading to Morgan's Wonderland with Abbi before long. We're in the best school district in the city, and Abbi has access to an awesome Autism school (though they will be hard pressed to meet the standard set by ASCEND in Prescott)! Doors are opening and things are falling into place. It's all happening fast, and at times can be overwhelming. Overall, that is not a bad problem to have.
We are ready to step into this life and live both the width and the breadth of it.
