Well, i have a few moments for an entry! We finally feel somewhat settled here in GR, I even got to hang poolside with the girls from my salon this afternoon, Jeremy was so gracious in letting me do that! Best Hubby Ever!  I;m a pro at moving now. I must say, when you move with two kids, it makes the job like 20 times harder. I don't remember moving being this stressful before. The only way for me to stop thinking about what needs to be done next, is if I watch a movie or read. thats a bad sign!  from organizing  new health insurance, to new address, to finding a grocery store and a pediatrician, to starting a new job with new hair licenses to auto policies, to changing all the addresses, to calling to set up internet, cable! Of course the billing on the old cable was messed up, just what I want to do, hang out on the phone with AT&T for a half an hour before my new job starts. AHHHHHHH!!!!! things are starting to settle a bit now. I have a billion "post it notes" posted to our desk. I have no idea what I did for years without a desk to get the job done. Keeping up on all the policies is a part time job in and of itself. Oh, not to mention we're running our own "Business" through this salon, so we had to set up excel to keep every penny we earn in order for tax purposes and our household budget...I know, this is all too much information, I want to look back on this in year and remember, Note to self, don't move you and your children to another state unless it is emergent!

Thanks to everyone who helped in this move and for the continuing words of encouragement we needed so badly just yesterday, as I wanted to move back to Chicago, where things were lonely, but normal! I feel much better today! Thank you Lord! Oh, By the way. My new lesson so far with this move from a spiritual stand point, is that God does not want me to worry about the future, and especially don't let others know your worried, to trust in Him, and make sure others know you have great trust that God will not take you this far, and leave you hanging. Basically have Faith, enjoy each day, especially your relationships with your husband and kids! Just another opportunity to trust God, I need to cherish this, because how many more Big instances will I have to do this! I found myself throwing a pity party for a few days last week, that all changed once I read the BIBLE, and prayed. Thats when I realized, STOP COMPLAINING and put your trust in GOD! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend in Holland hanging with my two dads, and greeting Geoffrey and Rachel (Brother and sister-in-law) on Monday as they are visiting us!
