I love it here. Everything about it. The trees, and my new neighbors (I don’t know them very well, which tbh is part of why I like them haha), and our little home, and my outside washing station (R set me up a washing machine and clothesline outside so I can keep up on diaper laundry, hahaha!), and our fence… It’s totally redneck, and I feel like a modern day gypsy, and I love it!
R is stressed still, and that gives me pause to celebrate just yet, but he assures me that it stems from his worry about not having a job (and to be fair, he’s still far less stressed than he was). We’ve only just gotten here, though, and he’s already received 3 different job offers (they didn’t work out for various reasons), and has interviews set up for the next week or so. I’m not one to count my chickens before they hatch, but I feel pretty confident in his ability to find a job he loves.
That’s the point, really. For us to be enjoying life. During the next several months, once we’ve gotten settled, I’ll be getting my doula certification. I’ll be doing it! Working in a field that I absolutely love! All while homeschooling K, and spending time with my lovely family <3
Who are loving it too, by the way. K was in absolute awe of the trees, and she likes that it's warm when it rains (that way she can play outside). G wants to get into everything, which - now that we have our fence up - wouldn't be too much of an issue, except that he's only just got his cast off... So 'take it easy for the next few days' means nothing to him -,-
Aw well... At least there's a lot to keep him distracted. There’s so much to DO! We currently live on a jungly piece of property, shared with a couple of other keep-to-themselves neighbors, on land that has several trails leading far back into BLM land. It’s gorgeous. We actually hiked up to a waterfall the other day.
Even at home, we’ve found a way to expand our living quarters and stay sane, haha: We set up an ‘entertainment section’ under the RV awning. It’s great! And if it gets too bright, we can hang a blanket on the clothes line, which quite effectively blocks out the sun. Lol, I like it so much, I just might want one in our forever home haha!
All in all, I think this move was really good for us. A new beginning for my little family <3 But also, not… Because this transition has had me realizing…
I’m no longer at the point where I want to start a new blog with this new transition. That was all good and well when it happened, but I’m at a different point in my life now. I’m starting to learn, little by little, that my past is quite certainly linked to my present, and my future. What I did then is just as important as what I’ll do today. The only difference, is now maybe I can start seeing it as a whole picture, instead of one ruling the other…
Anyway, I digress. Let this be but a page in my personal history.
