“Authenticity demands wholehearted living and loving—
even when it’s hard, even when it hurts,
and especially when we are wrestling with
the shame and fear of ‘not being enough.’
Mindfully practicing authenticity
during our most soul-searching struggles
is how we invite grace, joy, and gratitude into our lives.”

September: Vacation to NashVegas {begged hubby to raise our kids here instead of there}
October: Got a job here / Broke the news to our beloved friends & family / Put adoption plans on hold until ... ?
November: Started my job remotely / Packed our home in California and loaded the moving truck
December:
Moved in to the most beautiful home / Hated and loved the unpacking and
"home making" process / Adrenaline wore off, loneliness set in, and the
full impact of the move hit our marriage like a ton of bricks / Snowed in more than once / Got lost a lot
January: Settled
more / Breathed / Missed our friends & family a lot / Started making
new friends / Prayed together with hubby for the first time in way too
long (duh!) / Snowed in again (grrrrrr!) / Still getting lost, but not as much / l.o.v.i.n.g. my new job, a LOT / completely admiring my amazing husband for starting his new business all over again, all over again
February: still missing friends and family / enjoying our new friends a LOT! / still praying for our family and for peace, patience, trust, and joy in the waiting (God is good!) ...... to be continued :~}
... and now a photo montage between then and now... and there to here...
