I had a great weekend (extended one) away with the kids. My extended family were all there - 20 of us in total. We had kids from 2 weeks old through the teen years. My generation, my aunts and uncles, and my kid's generation. It was non-stop fun, eating, staying up too late and having a blast. We do this every year and it never fails to be terrific. I really needed it after this year. Just to be around people who love us and to really let got and have a good time was priceless (as is the sunburn on my back LOL).
I am putting into motion the plans for my move. If you remember, I decided to move about an hour from where we live now. It is mostly for a job opportunity for me but it also means an even better school for my kids. I was scared at first but I know long term this will be great for us so I am jumping in with two feet.
The kids love the new apartment and can't wait to get they're stuff settled. By the end of August, we'll be all set.
I am negotiating the final stuff on the job (we've got a couple of deal breakers I hope we can settle on). Even if the job doesn't work out, it puts me in a better area geographically for my work and closer to my family. This was a move I wanted to make a few months back but I couldn't pull off the logistics. Now it is all coming together. I am finally getting the life I've been wanting. By that, I mean I life I am fully choosing for myself and not letting my circumstances dictate.
So keep the faith women (and men), we have remarkable strength and reserve and good things will come or you can make them happen.
Oh and did I mention, I recently started dating? A nice guy, not too serious yet but I am enjoying his company.
Best to all. I'll try to catch up on the posts as soon as I can.

Atta girl!
Thanks for trail blazing!
