Reconnecting with technology while living the country life.
How else could I word this new relationship of Jersey girl meets big wide open spaces?
The last time we connected, we had just been in the heave of moving day nightmare. Things were fuzzy when we were woken up during the early morning hours to a burst pipe, a foot of water and soggy moving boxes. God tested my ability for patience and stamina. Try moving with three little ones, a nursing baby, water, and no husband. Just try it. I hope you handle it better than me.
Our tiny carpeted rental was water logged, we stuck it out for three days. Three days of being confined to the only dry spot in the house, our itty bitty kitchen. At night we were careful to dry our feet before climbing into bed and hoped our covers wouldn't trail on onto the wet floor.
Our rental began to dry out, leaving us with a terrible mildew smell, soggy books, destroyed possessions. I had closed on the house for my husband two days prior moving before after splitting off my children between friends and family while setbacks occurred which kept me at closing for five hours. This is not normal I assure you!
Moving day!!!!!
By ourselves, we had help after we got to our new home, but my husband missed the action because he couldn't take off.
Clarity, tranquil amongst the chaos. Me, on the verge of feeling as though my limit of sense, patience and faith was being tested. Who moves with four small children, two dogs, two cats in one vehicle? We do. And we did it; just like we moved from one state to another. It could have been worse, yet here we are in the country and life has never been so sweet.
My amazing little sister came out within days; never have I been so thrilled to have her visit.
This is our family lighting off fireworks for the fourth, having s'mores, bonfires and late night craziness.
We don't appear to have just moved from chaos do we?
We had a wonderful time with my sister's visit; lot's of food, shopping, we visited a memorial park, took lots of walks, explored, drank pots of coffee, played with crazy children, ran with dogs, hung out by the pool and talked until we couldn't keep our eyes open any more.
During this time we had barely any phone service and no internet, I enjoyed the break. But I am back; strange to be reconnected, busy with decorating, unpacking, exploring and living our country life.
