Where or where could we be?

Now I am sure you are wondering...as many people have been... where are we? Have we dropped off the face of the earth? Did we come back from Florida and disappear into oblivion? No... not really... we just have..been..kinda busy.
I was told long ago by my parents that "life is what happens when you are making plans" this is true... so VERY true.
Imagine my surprise when after settling into a routine after returning from Florida that Clint comes to me and says "what do you think about a move south?" Long...VERY long story short. ( I am going to make this as short as possible folks) Clint accepted a job, he quit a job, we sold our house without  listing it, he got a real estate license, we relocated 3 hours south and much closer to family, we bought a house, we changed school systems which lead to me applying for and GETTING a job... and whew.... it's not over yet... we started a new school, I started a new job, the kids started new activities, we started a new preschool, and finally... yes finally we are now settling into a new "normal" at least fo now for us. We have been here 4 months- in a new town and now have new friends and new relationships we are buidling. In this whole mess I beacme horribly deliquent in our blog, Many apologies. We... are... well.... adjusting.
I have been asked what the biggest change has been for us. Honestly it has been the forced move into town. We are so used to being "country people" that this has been hard. We have adjusted, knowing full well this is just a stop in the path we are meant to take. We will get there. Together we will get to wherever it is we are meant to be. I realize now that there are more changes ahead for us and we may very well move again and while 2 months ago they thought sent me reeling, I am okay with it now.
The kids- the are GREAT. Kids are strong, they adjust. The best gift you can give them is wings to fly. We hope in taking them to new communities and new opportunities they WILL fly... and so far they have. They have met friends, have maintained the straight A averages they have had and have maintained old friendships in our old community while making new friends here. I think they truly will be better rounded people who are comfortable making friends because of this opportunity we have given them.
So where have I been? 4 months+ of living life, opening doors, walking through them. Was it scary? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably, but ask me in a year beacsue so far we are still adjusting. But we will grow where we are planted- this I can assure you, and for now the roots are digging in!
Stay tuned- life is just bound to get more interesting for us!
