Our Journey East (A little farther east): 5 Months.... Few Words, and Pics

We have indeed been silent. It has been an incredibly busy summer and fall, full of many moments to write about, however I have not taken the time to do it.

Since June……

We have traveled to NY, Many Trips to GA, Two trips to FL.

We have moved from an 800 Square foot Apartment to a house that only God could put into our path.

We have been visiting church’s, thinking we have found the right fit.

H has started school, Kindergarten, and of course, Rocking it.

H has started Hip Hop Classes at a beautiful dance studio.

We have found a new Pediatrician, Occupational Therapist, Heart Dr, Chiropractor with a few more being added.

We are learning where to shop and where not to.

We have found a great dog park for Daisy to play.

We have found the walking trails throughout our neighborhood to be inviting and peaceful.

We have met neighbors whom we adore (even though they just told us they were moving).

Our girl has had her first fever.

She is learning Sign Language and Spanish

Our girl turned 6, Michael turned 44, and I just turned 39.

We had to put our sweet Elmo to sleep as he became very ill with cancer after the move.

Trick or Treating rocks in our neighborhood.

We have done the “Magnolia” Experience.

What we have learned about Texas:

Almost every road seems to be under construction.

Traffic is just as bad as Atlanta.

Drivers are very aggressive, VERY aggressive. It is cut throat here.

Mother Nature smokes crack out here. 90 one day, 45 the next. We keep out all seasons all year long.

It’s nice to be around family, and spend time with them.

What we know for sure:

We miss our people in Georgia.

We miss our community.

We see purpose in the move out here.

Our girl is still grieving the move.

The “honeymoon” phase of the move is over, reality has set in.

We are meeting some great people.

“Breaking in” is hard.

We love getting pen pal letters.

So, there you have it, 5 months of an update. I thought I would let the words be few and pictures speak for it all. I promise the next will not be so far off.
