So needless to say...I took some time off from this writing thing and I am ready to jump back in with both feet.  Not making any promises to myself or to anyone else that I will be keeping up with it everyday but my goal is to do my very best. 

Since my last post, my entire world shifted in ways I was not prepared for, some bad but mostly good.  We made a HUGE move for my husband's job, the girls had to start all over in a new school, and I had to quit the job I loved so much(for a second time).  Not to mention, my best friend of 6 years would be left behind as well.  Thank God for Internet, FaceTime, Skype and phones to help up through the transition.

The girls took the move very hard which made it even more difficult for me.  I would wake up every day hoping they would refrain from asking about their old friends, school, places they loved so much and with Mike working 10-15 hour days we were left to find ourselves in a "foreign" world. 

There were pretty awesome things, too.  I was able to spend more time with the girls on a daily basis and help Mike out from time-to-time with his new job at Louisburg College.  We got to know each other differently, the girls and I, because there were no sitters involved anymore.  I was there every night to make them dinner, read them stories, help with homework, play games and then tuck them into bed. 

I've made some pretty incredible friends in the short time we've lived here and gotten the chance to know Alyson Brown and Amanda Stanek, the two assistant's wives so well.  We've come to lean on eachother since our husband's spent a lot of time away from home with their jobs.     

But somewhere in that move to Louisburg, I lost myself and it took some time and some serious soul-searching to realize that I wasn't the same person anymore.  It was a terrifying realization at the time, yet it led me on a journey of self-discovery that has changed my life forever.
