Another year, another move. Last year around this time we moved to Georgia. A month later to West Virginia and the year before that we were in Tennessee. It's been quite an adventure thus far but I'm extremely excited for the adventure ahead. This year we will call Madison, Wisconsin home (and hopefully for years to come). This will be the furthest I've ever been away from my family and friends. I have mixed feeling, as with every move. This life comes with a lot of uncertainty, excitement, fun, pressure, and anxiety....throw two kids into the mix and you have yourself a party!! Although we are over the moon excited we also know the stress, long hours and hard work that comes with moving and entering a job like this. All we can do is remember that if God brought us to it, he will bring us through! I have to remind myself of that daily.Getting the job was the most exciting part so far. Now the work begins! Even though I'm not reporting for a job, my job is to keep it all together. Make sure the house is packed up, remember to keep all the bills at the last house paid, travel to new location with kids, find a new house, find a new school for the kids, arrange for movers at old location, make sure utilities are turned on at new location and turned off at old location, remember to pay everyone and make sure funds are available (balance the checkbook), keep the kids entertained and quiet while staying at an extended stay hotel (mommy guilt really sets in here), be my husband's biggest supporter, remain positive and transfer all the mail to new address. All this plus my regular mommy and wifely duties (and I'm sure I'm still forgetting something).
