One Year ago ...saturday

I can not believe its been one year this past Saturday since we packed up and moved from Isanti.....the only address that Andrew and I have lived at the longest....which was 5 and half years....all the others were 2 and half years or less thanks to either being in the ghetto (that was a glorious year I care to never repeat) or thanks to the market boom

When I look back on this past year it feels like a life time ago that we lived there.....its feels more like 3 yrs have gone by than just 1......I never knew what this past year would look like until now.....a move, settling in, Breyden starting a new school, Syd starting preschool, Andrew losing his job, my surgery, Andrew getting a new job within a month (Thank God), questioning our decision to be in the place that we were and later hating the place that we were in, getting the approval to pack up and move once again just 7 months later, Breyden starting another new school (one of the toughest decisions we had to make as a family, but yet one of the best we did make), and finally settling back into a new place and starting all over again.....

It has been one of the toughest years to-date.....sometimes when I think back on it I am surprised that we made it out on the other side all together and reasonably sane.....sometimes the decisions we make are not the best for us....the place that we found in Woodbury clearly was not a great decision....but then I think about it more if we would not have made that choice to live there....then we would not be where we are today....it could have been a place just great as we are in now.....or it could be the same shit hole that we were in, and more than likely not have the option to get out.....the place that we are now we are happy with....we have settled in....we have meet some great people and friends for all of us....and we love the house.....

We are where we are now because of the decisions we made a year plus ago....I do not regret those decisions to move....our family is in a much better place....making the choice to move was not an easy decision in no means.....especially with what this past year had in store for us.....but I have no regrets....I am glad we took the chance to change our lives....
