How did I get here?

Lately, I keep asking myself the questions "How did I get here?" and "Why did I think this was a good idea?" Here and this are referring to Idaho and moving here from Texas.

I always try to be positive about situations in my life. I keep trying to be positive about this huge change. The biggest positive is that my dear husband is happier with his job. That is how I ended up in Idaho. So far, his stress levels have diminished and he is back to the man I married.

Let's see, why I thought it was a good idea... Great job opportunity for Lee. Good for the girls to experience at least one move in their lives before leaving home. Good for me to take a break from all my volunteer work and focus on my family. Get to experience a different part of the country.

Well, it has been all of that. The girls love the mountains. It snowed last Friday, but didn't stick. It doesn't snow in Texas until the end of December or as late as February. But it doesn't last long and usually you have to borrow your neighbor's snow to make a snowman--or woman as my mom likes to do.

I have been informed that I am not allowed to volunteer for at least a year. It's been two months and I have not volunteered, yet. As for focusing on my family, well that is all I get to do. I had to find us a place to live once our 60 days in corporate housing ended. I thought we were going to get to buy a house, but that didn't happen. So, I had 2 weeks to find us a rental house. God is so good to us. We now have a nice house with a yard for the kids and dog. I don't know who enjoys it more.
