Three weeks ago today, we moved to a lovely little town community perched on a beautiful lake in Michigan. It feels touristy here at times. Reminiscent of Amelia Island, where we honeymooned. And then within ten minutes on the interstate, the big box stores take over and the nostalgia is gone.
But I’m falling in love with this area. And our home. We have a three bedroom apartment Really High in the Sky (as Drew says) and for the first few nights we just sat around sad-like thinking how did we put up with that other apartment for so long? THIS IS BLISS.
Drew has transitioned to this new place beautifully. Moving is certainly emotionally difficult for children and I fully expected tears, confusion, and some attitude problems for awhile but he has been rather impressive. He slept in his new bedroom (which is farther away from our room than he’s used to) the very first night and has taken to it all so well.
As I’ve unpacked and began the process of making this new place our cozy home, I’ve felt the itch to write. So, I’m here again at Octolilly!
