Just when you feel life has settled down and your roots are starting to sink, a storm blows in and redirects your path. When my husband got out of the military, we felt as though we were finally going to settle down and just be... however that just wasn't in the cards for us this time. Now, we are packing up and heading back to the midwest that we have called home more times than I can count and Lord willing it will be the last move we ever have to make.
For now, its hard to pack up even though the entire family is excited about this next step because we are leaving the first home we have ever had. The kids will miss their friends and will yet again be the new kids in school. I am sure my kiddo's will do just fine with this move because the area we are moving to offers them so much more than where we are now.
As for me, I will continue to write and prepare for my career in teaching (as soon as I transfer my license) and make a home for my family. This time when we set down the roots, I am digging the hole about six feet deep so they will be to hard to come up.
