It has been three months since our move....besides the cluster of medical appts, surgery, an MRI, and numerous medications for both Andrew and I in October....I finally feel like we have settled in....we have a routine during the week...a schedule we keep....weekends are usually reserved for family down time or planned activities....I am glad that we are settled here and the kids have adjusted well to the change....and I am finally accepting that things will not immediately be like there were in our old place
The thing that has been the hardest for me is grown up face time....my interactions with adults is severely limited....I work from home with the kids....and we are now in a new location....and I hoped that certain friendships would have been maintained and I am now realizing that most are not....I am extremely grateful for the ones that have stayed....but still sad with the ones that have not....but I know that I have given what I could....but can not always be expected to be the one who will drive all the time....its not a fair expectation...
These past couple days I have realized that when we moved to Isanti we were in the same situation....it took time to meet people...it just wasnt as noticeable since I was working outside the house and was able to have adult interaction with people at work....but after some soul searching I have realized and accepted that it will take time to meet new people...and I need to give it that!
I am truly grateful for the friends who have stayed....and also happy with the time that we now get to spend as a family....those are the things that are important in life!
