Hey, nice to see you again!

So it's been awhile...

I'm notoriously bad at keeping up with these things, at least on a consistent basis. But, I HAVE been a tad bit busy as of late. I'm just NOW thinking of writing.

The latest catastrophe (No, I'm trying to be more positive. It's an occurrence.) has been.... uhhhh..... interesting to say the least. I really never thought I'd find myself in that position. It's just not something that ever entered my mind as being in the realm of possibilities. I'm a slow-learner. However I am very confident that this lesson will stick.

They say that there are blessings in disguise, and I absolutely feel like this is one of them. We are definitely unhappy with HOW everything came to an end (don't get me started on the details, I'll rail on all night), and the expediency in which things needed to be achieved. BUT we DID get it all achieved. And, we are so much happier with this place. It FEELS better, it's felt like home literally from day one. There are minor things that still need to happen to be "fully" settled, but we are 99% settled and it feels AWESOME.

I really feel like the other house was beginning to weigh me down. It has some incredibly wonderful memories associated with it, and some incredibly painful ones at the same time. But we can keep those memories even after we've moved on, those can't be foreclosed on and taken away from us. It always felt dank, the awful green paint was starting to feel like a wet blanket, the creepy crawlies that were constantly invading us (*shudder*). The list goes on and on. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I'm not at all sorry to be gone from there.

We do miss Midtown very much, it was so awesome being in that part of town and so close to EVERYTHING. We're a bit on the outskirts now, but that's the trade-off for the very nice place we have now. We got so spoiled by being just down the street from so many kick ass places. *sigh* Still stings a little bit, but it's not like we can't ever go back. It'll just take us 40 minutes to get there.

All in all, this move has been the best thing for our family and it seems for my state of mind. New place, new start.

I'm back.
