Really, it's been six months?

It's been a while, about six months (to the day, in fact) since I've been here. Which got me to thinking, what exactly have I been doing for the last six months. It seems like just yesterday that I was sitting in our house worrying wondering about what the future held for the four of us.

Well, in case you didn't know. The D family picked up and moved shortly after my last post. Not too far away, but far enough to change zip codes and make it now long distance to call my momma. I wasn't super thrilled with that, but after some times of reflection, I know that we are exactly where God wanted us to be! Hopefully sometime soon I can share the story of how Mr. D figured that one out.

We love our new house and are trying to find our way in our new neighborhood. Leaving our former neighbors was really like leaving family. I've learned in the past couple of months that the four of us being together wasn't the only thing that made our last house a home. It was the wonderful relationships that we had built over seven years with the people that shared the street with us. I'm hopeful that those friendships won't end and very hopeful that we can build new friendships with the people we live near now.

Over the last six months I haven't abandoned the computer all together. I have become obsessed with Pinterest. So much so that I am currently trying to stay away from the site so that I can actually do something productive with my time.

Many other things have happened over the summer, which I enjoyed immensely.  We spent a ton of time at the pool. I watched my hubby try to grow grass in our back yard all summer and then he watched me near hyperventilate when we got a water bill. My little buddy turned seven and the first of August he got on the school bus and went off to first grade. Sister summed it up when she said, "I miss when Bubby was six." I miss it too sister, more than she knows.
