As for me....

I am doing okay. It’s harder than I thought it would be. After the summer I had, I got it my head that everything would be okay as soon as I got to Texas. Well, big surprise, it wasn’t. Mom’s still sick, Stacy’s still in VA, money is still a problem, we’re still a in packing mess.
But God is great and is watching over us. The kids are happy – worth it all!!! We were blessed with the house we found, and more so blessed with the community we landed in.
I have made many friends as well. There is one, Lisa, who stays at home and we do a lot together. From breakfast, to just going to grocery store together, to running to Midland. It has helped with my sense of loss. Loss of the known, loss of my gel family at my side, loss of the church that I love so dear… etc…
Now if I could just get Stacy here…. He is on his way it’s just taking way longer than we thought.

What its like...

It has been a long three weeks since we moved into our new abode. The house is old but has lots of charm. There are lights everywhere and built in shelves as well. 3 bathrooms too which is a big help with 3 females in the house! It also has a huge yard that WILL soon contain a fenced in area for the dogs.
It is smack dab in the middle of town and just a block from the jr/sr high school. The town consists of about 200 residents. There is no 7-11, grocery store, etc. There is, however, a pay –n-pump gas place. It is basically a gas pump on the side of the road that only takes credit cards. Too fun! Oh and everyone gets a free P.O. box because no mail is delivered in town. LOL!
The girls come home from school and depending on homework are soon out the door to play outside with friends. Sometimes they go to the high school football field (north side of town) and sometimes they go to the dirt pile (south 4 blocks). The big thing is they are free to wander where ever. I LOVE that! They can finally be kids. And of course there are friends all over. Tonie has 4 different girls that she plays with here instead of just one(and that was if she was lucky). Alisa has taken over her phone and is texting everyone. She has several girls she hangs with as well.
