Any move is directly from hell no doubt-I can't think of one in my lifetime that was easy or smooth. But this move was specifically bad due to the short notice, as well as all the dynamics surrounding it-school mostly.
The kids' teacher was devastated to lose us. I know it came as a shock to her-and we had such a good working relationship. The assistant director and office manager also expressed their disappointment in our leaving.
Of course it's rough when any school loses students, especially a family of four!
Anyway, I am so glad I will never have to look at that pink shower again! I'm so glad my days of no dishwasher are over (for now lol)
And today, marks a day of new beginnings in our homeschool. Today I will officially enroll the kids in Eleanor Roosevelt Community Learning Center in Visalia. It is a homeschool charter school based out of a 100 year old schoolhouse!
I will meet with the teachers today and gather books for the remainder of the school year. Luckily, I have much of what we need already so it's going to go very smoothly.
While I feel bittersweet feelings about some changes, and feel as if certain dreams have been dashed on the rocks, I feel hopeful that this new journey will be blessed and exciting.
We had an awesome service last night at FOT. The building was packed and everyone left in high spirits with exciting opportunities to be used and involved. I am so grateful.
I sit at this moment, curled up under a fluffy leopard blanket, on the couch, with coffee in hand, with my littlest boy...while my littlest girl snoozes on the other couch...the rest of the house is still sleeping...(we are a tired bunch!) and I feel peace and comfort, knowing we are welcome and loved enough to be given a place to recoup and get on our feet.
God is good! All the time!
