Yes, I am just now getting to write about our move after a month. But any of you who have made a move as huge as this one can certainly understand. I have never been so busy and overwhelmed in my life!
This move has been quite the whirl-wind and emotional roller coaster. We have not slowed down since the plane touched down in Augusta.
First off, God is good all the time! Within a week of being here we found a home and I already had a job. I absolutely love our new house. I've always imagined Ethan and I living in the country with a big yard and lots of room to roam. We definitely found that in this house as Ethan can attest too seeing as it took him a solid two hours to mow the lawn! It needs a little TLC and even though we are just renting we are ready to give it just that. I have spent so much time dreaming over the things we can do with the house and how awesome it will be to actually host family get-togethers here. I will be posting about the home DIYs that we do over the next few months. We will still be waiting for a couple of weeks for our stuff to arrive from Hawaii.
I am very blessed to have found a job so quickly. That I can say. But I also can say that it is very difficult. My job has probably been the hardest thing I've dealt with since being here. Hindsight is 20-20 as they say and I truly do miss my kids in Hawaii. My kids here need my love though. That I can tell already. Learning how to give it, and to make a difference is the hard part. As a teacher I know that every student is different, and in my head I knew that every place would have a different demographic of students. I guess I just didn't realize how big of a difference it would be teaching here. I am getting a much needed reality check and lucky for me my hubby and friends are there to help me out with that as well. I am learning a lot about myself...
Ok guys, so I honestly am sitting here with no idea what to write next. There's been so much going on, but I'm at the point where I want to move forward you know? I feel like I haven't gotten to slow down and enjoy anything. I'm constantly worried or stressed or trying to fix this or going here or there. It's exhausting. So the only real thing you guys need to know right now is we made it. We did it. It's crazy how fast the transition took place and how fast we just became a part of this new place. It's strange and exciting and exhausting and overwhelming and wonderful all at the same time. One day at a time. One day at a time.
