When I was in elementary school (somewhere around 1st or 3rd grade I believe), I had the opportunity to write and illustrate a book. While I decided then I would never be an illustrator, I did learn that I liked writing the story. So here I am, writing my story.
My mom told me that I should write a blog, you know, to relieve stress, share my experiences with this crazy changing part of life I'm in. My husband and I have been married for 1 year and 4 months. During that time we have lived in 3 apartments, accumulated more debt than I've ever seen in my life, and done at least one move across the country. I am now 18 weeks pregnant with our first child and we're about to move in with my in-laws while we get our own place to settle down, which means another cross-country move.
Fortunately, this next move will be a direct result of my husband finally getting his first full-time entry level position, complete with health and retirement benefits and the all-elusive experience! My intent in writing this blog is to share my experiences and coping methods for stress and anxiety as there is about to be a brand-new set of it in my life. I hope my experiences will help someone see how to cope with seemingly insurmountable challenges in life.
I have to bookmark this page so I -really- know what's going on at home while I'm at work :o
ReplyDeleteYou guys are going to do great. I'm so excited you and Michael are moving back to the area, and I know Lisa is over the moon at the prospect of grandmotherhood. :-) In the meantime, just remember when you need a break, I am an awesome rocker-to-sleeper for babies.
ReplyDeleteThere are blessings and challenges in everything we do. Most of the time they are one and the same. You can do anything you set your mind to.
ReplyDeleteHappy moving! We loved that area when we lived there. Happy hunting a new home!
