HELLLO! Seems as though I have fallen off the edge of the blogging world...thankfully (*or not?), I am back. The chaos hasn't ended, but the need for externalizing some of my thought processes has returned. A lot has occured since my last update, my life has virtually taken a 360.
As I spent Christmas day alone, I posted the music video "I haven't met you Yet" and said, please let this be my last Christmas by myself. (or something like that)
Well, that wish has been granted, I do believe. I have met a man whom I love dearly, so much so, that I am packing up my family and relocating over three hours away. The kids are excited, as am I.
However, with the new beginning, must first come an ending or endingS.
I will be leaving so much behind...a home, a job I loved, and most of all, the dearest friends a girl could have. This community has been a wonderufl place to raise my children. When Evan got off the bus at the wrong place, someone noticed him instantly standing outside crying...who then called the school to reach me. Or when Ava rode the bus and I was out of town, a teacher picked her up and made sure they both got to where they needed to go. The programs for the children and the support from neighbors and strangers alike has been overwhelming. The kids and I will miss the love of the people here so much.
Even the students I worked with, as well as many co-workers, have touched my life and will never be forgotten. Some asked why I cried and cried AND CRIED the last two days of work - saying they'd be excited to get out of there. Not me. I am going to miss that place so much.
Today one of my best friends stopped with alittle going away gift, as she left for vacation today. I hadn't even got the box opened, and the tears were already streaming down my cheeks. The friends I have made here are some of the best people I have ever met. With hearts so big and open arms, they have gotten me to where I am today.
As her card said..."I don't like saying good byes...so let's pretend we are playing hide and go seek and you are just really hard to find."
Sounds good to me...I think I'll stick with that. Good bye sounds so forever, hide and seek sounds much more fun.
On a positive note, our new city shall be an adventure that we are looking forward to and to not have miles between Dylan and I will be a huge stress relief. Can't wait to be "settled" and have a job, college, etc. all lined up and everything moved.....as long as the mighty mo doesn't cause us to evacuate.....not even going to think about that! :)
Crazy is as crazy does....
So only after a few weeks of dating, dylan and I made the decision to move in together. I recieved a lot of criticism and harsh judgement based on this choice. WHICH I COMPLETELY RESPECT!!!!!! From the outside, I am sure it looks as though I fell off my rocker.
That being said, if I wasn't sure he and I wanted this, no way would I be putting my children in a vulnerable situation. Granted, I can't gurantee the future, and with love, only time can tell....but I feel something different with Dylan and my intuition says GO FOR IT:) So stay tuned...next update will hopefully be after we have relocated and are in our new place officiallY!
