Finding the New Normal

October 3, 2008


Well, like I’ve mentioned before, we’ve been desiring a move out west for quite some time. We relocated to Kansas City almost five years ago, after having lived our entire lives in Southern California. While our time in KC was fraught with challenges and, in some part, failed expectations, we have been able to see lots of good coming from our time there: specifically, three more children, a small handful of good friends, and an appreciation for good BBQ.

Now we’re on to a new chapter of our life. After six months of praying about this specific job, we are moving on. Literally.

And while some things are familiar from our lives in CA years ago, we are moving to an unknown community, a new job, a new home. Couple that with having added a baby to our brood just a short four weeks ago, and we’ve got a whole lotta changes going on.

Time to find the new normal. Stay tuned ’cause the last week has produced plenty of blog fodder.

You are amazing! And you are still sane after all that moving, new baby, new home?? My hat’s off to you!

Hope you settle down quickly and have lots of nice neighbors :)

P.S. I am slightly jealous of that warm looking beach…

So great to see all the kids back at the beach! I was just in Avila on Tuesday and thinking about our trip there when there were just two fishboys.
Have you found a CVS yet?

I am still sane, as far as I can tell. And, yes, I have found my CVS and my Walgreens. Had a great trip to Albertsons and the butcher even offered to scoop the deals for me. His eyes bugged out when I told him about my $400 budget and he was rarin’ to help my cause. How cool is that?

Thanks so much for participating in this conversation about "a mom's life."

This is a place where moms can be themselves. Remember that each mother's path looks a little different. Please keep your comments respectful and kind. Reasonable minds will disagree in a nice way.

So let's talk about it, using "our big girl words."
