At our Thanksgiving meal this week my brother started razzing me about never calling him anymore when I asked him if he knew I had started grad school. My response to him sums up how I have felt lately. I told him how just a year or two ago I had called our mom at least once a week and how I realized recently I don't call her nearly as much. Then I said I think its because things are going so well in my life I don't feel like I need as much help as I used too. Things have been going good for me and my little family!
This week we closed on our second home. The move has been the easiest in my life. We just bought the house we have been renting for the past year. We are happy with the decision as I am close to work and the girls are close to friends. It feels like a good decision for us and relieves the stress of home shopping for a few years.
Jeremy is a year away from finishing his Masters degree and I started working on mine this past summer. In another three weeks I will have nine credits under my belt. Even though it has been hard at times I feel this too has been a good decision for our family and I have still been able to focus my free time on my kids.
Maybe I am just getting older and more confident but I don't feel I need to rely on the support of family members as I have in the past. Don't get me wrong I need help and often receive it, but it has come more from my neighbors and friends. We are very blessed to be where we are today!
