Its been almost a year since we have made our trip out west. I have thought about it often and remebered my blog and im sad that i didnt jot more things down. I actually kind of miss it out there in a way. I guess its this lovely weather. Even late october and early november it was like the way it is now outside low 80's during the dead day. If i didnt have church or big family in my life that would definately be a place to consider living. Just a nice place all in all. Gald i had the opportunity to have a go at all that by myself. Ive always had help with anything and everything i have needed. Out there for a good while it was just me and jed and the kids. It was nice. Not saying that i dont like the help and didnt miss my other family but that time away was well needed. Since i have been back I feel like i ahve became maybe a little more organized and on top of my house cleaning game. lol I pretty much only had the essentials out there in our town home and when i came back my house felt so junky.... still does lol but i did alot of cleaning out when i got back! I also remember coming home and the inside of my house seemed so short. the ceilings in the town home were really tall and mine arent at my house just normal height so it threw me off! but i can still remember coming in and all that familiarity just came flooding back. My parents and my gran were waiting for me on my porch and when they saw us they just screamed lol they were so happy i got kinda awkward but thats just me sometimes idk how to act when ppl act like that. But thinking back on it now just pulling up i felt so relieved i have tears in my eyes just thinking about it. Theres nothing like coming home. we left from NM in the afternoon when jed got off early from work. We barely stopped driving. he didnt even stop at a hotel. He was so ready to be home. Since we have been back we had an awesome christmas. jed had to go back out right before and has been back a few times since. Charlotte just turned one last month and taylor got glasses for his strabismus. I have a newfound love for cooking and making our house a home. Jed finally finished building his studio that he started right oafter charlotte was born. God also blessed his job and really helped him out by giving him an awesome raise. Since then things havent seemed so hard for us and for that im thankful. Its an answered prayer of mine. I have been working slowly on a church cookbook and im hopefully nearing the ending soon. it just feels good to get this all out of my head and down somewhere. noone will probably read this but it will be here when i want to reflect just like those posts i wrote when we lived in NM.
