We moved back to Texas two looong months ago. And it's been a very eventful two months. I am constantly being reminded that this was, indeed, the right decision for our family. Not sure if its the 70 degree weather or just the fact that this is where we need to be ;) I sure miss the friends I had in Utah, and the awesome neighborhood we lived in! But I'm excited to plant roots!
I've already had so many opportunities to share my beliefs and connect with other people with similar goals and interests as me. I love it here! I love the feeling of home. Now... If only we can get one settled for ourselves.. I wouldn't complain about moving out of my parents! It's been nice to see huge numbers in our checking account, but it's all spoken for so it's not really there... It's still nice though :)
Through these last couple months, and the most exhausting part of pregnancy, I've only had two half days of total meltdowns. I have been putting so much effort into recognizing that my irrational, emotional reactions to stress are induced by my pregnancy, and I am able to contain and change my attitude so much easier this time around. Knowing that it's just my calling in life to have these babies this close helps a lot too. I've had to pray... A lot... For peace through this whole process of moving, new job, and new baby. I don't appreciate change like some, but I'm sure I do more than others.. All the same, I will love being settled!
This weekend Spencer and I had our first overnighter since September. It was just what we needed! The stress has definitely been a struggle, and having a day where I was only responsible for myself was a real treat. I certainly enjoyed coming back and loving on all my babies :) they really bring so much joy to my life!
Being a mom is harder than I had anticipated, but that's OK. It has taught me to stop anticipating so much and to just have Faith that if you are doing what The Lord asks or requires of you, you'll be just fine. We will be just fine!
I love my family, I love growing up, and I love my life :)
