We have had quite the busy summer here. I worked summer school; which was hard, but extra money is always worth it. It was hard to continue to leave the girls, but it was only half days so we figured it'd be ok. John was finally offered a job. Good news/bad news kind of situation. He was offered a job in his field <----GOOD NEWS! IN TEXAS! <---BAD NEWS! John has been in Texas since the end of July. It has been hard to be here with the girls without him. He finally found a place for us to live a few weeks ago. So he moved in there on September 1st. The girls and I will be leaving for Texas on September 23rd. It's really hard to think about leaving my whole family up here. I know it's for the best monetary wise, but unfortunately I'm afraid how it will be down there. Thankfully, we're only planning to stay down there for about a year. Then we're desperately hoping John finds a job back up here so we can come back to family.
PHEW! So after all that the girls got to go on 2 vacations this summer. Both were road trips! EEK! What were we thinking right? First vacation was Frankenmuth, MI. It was a nice relaxing vacation that John got to join us on. YAY! The second vacation was DISNEY WORLD!! It was so fun. The drive...not so much. Hope was miserable during parts of the drive. Like the mountains! She hated the mountains. Once we got to disney the girls had a blast. I was so excited to be able to have fun and relax.
Being a stay at home mommy is a lot harder than anyone ever says. I worked with kids with severe disabilities and sometimes being a SAHM is 100 times harder! That's crazy to me.
I wouldn't change being home with the girls. I've waited 2 years to be able to be home with them. I also miss adult conversations though. I'm hoping to find some mommies down in Texas for playdates. Maybe :) So...that pretty much brings us up to date.
