Greetings my friends!
I'm writing you from the business center of our new abode! If you're wondering why it's been so long since my last post, it's because we're still in the process of moving and don't have access to a computer at home. I have never had to move a whole house. Going from a 4 bedroom 2100 sq ft house to a 2 bedroom "carriage" townhouse is quite a daunting task especially if you're like me and haven't moved in 15 years. It's like stuffing sardines in a can. Since my brother is still going to be at the Chula Vista house we didn't have to move everything, yet. But he wants to move into the master bedroom, which I was occupying for the last 15 years and which we left a mess. We grabbed, I mean packed, necessary things for now but we left a mess for my brother to deal with or at least walk around back in CV. Sorry Glenn. We have plans to go back and get the rest of the stuff and clean up our mess but I just don't know when that's going to happen.
It's nice to know that you don't have to have everything out by a certain time like a normal move but now we have two homes to clean and get in some sort of semblance and order. Which is something I'm trying to do create order and beauty in our home. I thought I was doing a good job and then I joined Pinterest. Wow!How do all those women do it? So much to get rid of and new projects to do. Love Pinterest but is it helping me or am I getting sucked into new projects? But where to begin?
Caleb's in his new school and seems to be adjusting well. We have our routine down in the morning other than the fact that Caleb never wants to wake up but that's how it has always been. Today we walked home from school and it has been a beautiful day, so far. Yesterday was a very different story. Have you ever woken up inside a wind tunnel? Let's just say I know how that feels. Yesterday the winds were about 60 miles an hour (not sure on that fact, that is what Jon said) regardless if that fact is true, it sure did feel like it. When we walked to church from the parking lot Caleb was at a 45 degree angle trying to move forward. It was so hard that the wind kept trying to push Caleb back. You all know what high winds can do to a young tree or twig, right? Well I was sure Caleb might meet the same fate but, alas we made it safe and sound..
It's nice waking up ever morning and seeing the beautiful mountains. Something I enjoyed so much in Albuquerque but not really had in San Diego. I'm enjoying the little things that God has created while trying to enjoy the whole process of moving to a new area. Moving is such a process and this is only my second time doing it and the first time with little children. I pray that Tessa gives herself a good nap and I'll be able to get some unpacking done or I'm afraid that we'll live in the sea of boxes and mess for quite some time.
There is always something new to get use to in the RC...
