The move.


Well, it has been so long since I blogged. I don't know if anyone even cares what I have to say at this point but I will write for my own sanity. For the mother who changed three messy diapers today and got pooped on yesterday. I write for the lady who gets tired of hearing "more? More? MORE? MORE MORE?????".
I have not written since the move. It was a lot harder on me than I expected. I didn't deal with the stress very well, and have learned that I hate change. And here all this time I thought I hated Oak Harbor. I actually grew to love Washington, and the very dear friends I made there. I was at church last week at The Chapel and realized that not one person there knew us, nor probably cared that we were there. It made me sad for Living Word.
I know that God is working on me, and I am dragging my feet. Why is it so easy to take a nap, or even clean the kitchen-instead of picking up the bible. Or getting down to the nitty gritty?
On a happy note, its so amazing to live close to our family. We absolutely made the right decision in getting out of the Navy, and I see God working in amazing ways. Steve was offered an interview for a part time Human Resources job, and he got the job a few days later. In this economy this is huge. Buffalo is a dying city, and God is breathing life into our future. This also allows him the time to go to school 3/4 time in order to use his GI Bill. I am returning to Buffalo State in the Spring, and am happy to get back to school and glad that I still get to spend time with Blake at home.
Our new house is just beautiful. My Dad coordinated a cross country purchase, and we are so happy with our little abode. Blake's room is one of my favorite parts of the house, along with the picture window in front to display our big tree!
Blake is starting to adjust to the change slowly, but it has been hard on him too. He doesn't quite know what to think about his new room, but he is starting to talk a lot more and give lots of hugs and kisses. He is the joy of our life, and such a blessing. Merry Christmas to You and yours!
