The next chapter

So next week we start our move to finally be a family who lives in one place, together! We have been separated by distance for so long and I sware it is so difficult to do. But somehow we have done it and have still managed to continue to be close. Next week starts a very long, but exciting week and we are both very happy about it.
Tuesday I drive to Georgia to get a physical completed for FCC. This is so I can finally finish my paperwork for becoming a family childcare provider. Then Wednesday Chris starts leave, Thursday we go down there to register the girls for school and go to middle school orientation, Friday we sign for our house on post, and Saturday we move! Very busy week but soooo exciting at the same time.
I have left a chapter of my life behind that hurt to do but I know it is for the best. The Lord will provide, that I do know. And I also know that those who understand why we are doing what we are doing are our true friends while others have been showing their true colors.

Annoyed

So the new teacher, who is a new new teacher is apparently anxious to get into the classroom. Well considering I am still actually teaching in it due to summer school it makes it very difficult for that to happen. And not only did I start packing my stuff today but I really got it fairly all together so that I can start removing it tomorrow. And not the teacher no, but the assistant, who is supposed to be my friend, decides to go in there this afternoon to "check" on my progress. What kind of mess is that? I mean, it's my classroom. It makes me feel pretty bad and I'm not happy about it but it also gives me more motivation to get my stuff out of there. So tomorrow I will hopefully have everything that is mine out of the house and then I can just teach there until the end of next week and be done with it. I love the school but that is making my leaving a little unhappy.

On other notes, things are moving forward. We technically move the 11th, and sign for the house the 9th. And the girls will start school the following week. Meadow will have a full day school schedule and I am really excited about that. And once I get the daycare class out of the way, I will be able to take in children and then that will help a lot. I do need to buy school supplies for the girls and so that will be some but school clothes will just have to wait a little while.

Now, to get this house sold.....

The beginning of a new chapter

So the rental on the house fell through but we took it all as a sign from the Lord that it is time for our family to be together all the time. We got housing on post and will move here in the middle of August. Our house is still for sale and hopefully it will sell because we are goign to have a rough go at it at first. I am applying here to do my own in home daycare and so that should hopefully go well. Once I get the application complete then I can take the class and go through the home inspection. Once all of that is complete I can do the daycare. I'm hoping for sometime in September I can finally get some children and start making some income again.

The girls are happy about the move and our family being together. Whytney is having a little bit of a difficult time considering her friends but that is understandable. I think that Meadow is going to do really well with having her dad home everyday. So overall, it will be a positive move. And it is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.

So excited!!!

In four days I will travel to Ft. Gordon to spend the weekend there. The reason is because my incredible husband is finally coming home!!!!! The girls are so excited and so am I. Tuesday Whytney comes back and she will be home one day before we leave again. She is just busy busy this summer. I think it will be great for our family to finally be connected again.

On a weird note, I got an offer to rent my house yesterday. While I would love to do that so we could move, right now is unfortunately not the right time for that to happen. We still have bills to pay off, and I am under contract at the school I teach at. Plus, I am very anxious, nervous, and excited about this coming school year. This is a very big school year for me being my evaluation year. Once I get past this year then I will have my professional certificate and it will be easier for me to find employment elsewhere. So it is not time and I know that deep in my soul. Our family will be together when God is ready for that to happen. I truly hope it is sooner rather than later, but all in God's time.

Meadow has been truly trying me lately and it makes me wonder why God would place her with me. I know there must be a reason since she is here with our family, but she has so many things that I don't know how to deal with. I really hope that we get the referral soon so that we can start to understand exactly what is going on with her. Then I will hopefully be able to give her exactly what she needs.
