So it has been 1 year since we moved to Ferndale and started our lives all over again. So many changes both good and bad, things I took granted no longer close and things I never expected became closer. Yes the move was a mixed blessing in so many ways.
It was like christmas morning on a GRAND SCALE when the HUGE moving truck backed into OUR driveway, for 7 months 97% of our belongings were in storage, so to have Travis open the back of the truck was like a HUGE weight taken off of my shoulders, our belongings, Gavin's toys, my scrapbooks and lots of memories got unloaded and placed into OUR home where we could add to them...
In 1 year you make lots of memories and meet new people, right away we found a new church, Thanks to my cousin and his wife, it was easy and we love it. We got Gavin settled into school and turns out OUR house is the HOUSE to play at, so Gavin made lots of friends, Travis's job was close and he was home by 5 and not tired from the LONG drive so we did lots of stuff. Summer happend and the kids and I went to the beach and the parks, shoot we even went to Canada, ok we played at a park that is on the Border and as long as we stayed in the park we didn't need passports, many picnic lunches with dad, picking fresh berries and apples was fun. We signed Gavin up for soccer and Travis was able to coach, something he never could do because of work, Carley and I joined 2 GREAT playgroups and the other moms opened their arms and wrapped our family into theirs.
Our Family has been blessed by moving here, however I do miss my old house and most of all, my friends we left. But I do see them and do talk to them, but it's just not the same...
