We arrived in Cornelius, NC around 7:00 pm Wednesday night, we pulled out the mattresses and a few other things and went to bed. Tim and my Dad were up bright and early on Thursday and had the whole trailer unloaded by 3:00!! We were pretty much settled in that day with all the couches, tables and beds put together. Friday and Saturday we worked on putting things away and other odds and ends. My parents left on Sunday morning and Tim and I decided to take the day off from unpacking and just enjoy some time with the kids!!! Right now the house is totally livable, but I have some more boxes to unpack and a lot of painting to do. I'm hoping to get it wrapped up in the next week or two.
Well that's how the unpacking went, but during this process I was a emotional wreck!! I wanted to go home!! I was super homesick and yes believe it or not I was missing Jackson, MI!! This feeling of panic and desperation has leaved me a little. I'm feeling better about being here and trying to remind myself of why I am here. I do know that if I want to move back to MI I can, and maybe I'll decide to...who knows. I'm going to give this a good chance. I love the nice weather and the sunshine, the people are so nice and there are a ton of kids around. The kids should start school in a couple of days, this will give me a good chance to get stuff done and explore the town with Max. There is a Gymboree class right up the road from us so I think I'm going to sign him up for a class there. I don't know I guess there's a lot to do and a lot to figure out, I'm just going to take it one day at a time right now. Well I promised the kids a trip to the park on the Lake, so I'll take some pictures and post them soon!!

Great idea joining that Gymboree group! I am so glad that I have my "school" moms/friends here.
ReplyDeleteJust hang in there...you will find your routine and it will all get easier with time. Soon you will call me anto tell me its 70 when I'm up to my ears in snow! Just remember what we talked about...I'm here for you no matter how far apart we are. And lets get planning that girls vacation!!!
Just think of it as a really long vacation. We miss you, but you'll be settled in no time!
ReplyDeleteIt does kinda feel like a vacation..like when am I going to go home?? The panic has truly left me and now I'm left with a very unsure feeling. Unsure of what I want or what is ahead of me. I'm just dealing with the moment. On a positive note the kids are adjusting great and seem very happy here. Olivia's sugars are wonderful and the sun has been shining.
ReplyDeleteI think you're over the hardest part- actually packing and leaving! Now there's so much stuff to discover and enjoy!!! AND you can say you DON'T LIVE IN MICHIGAN!!! How good does that sound????? Hopefully we're right behind you with moving (not to NC...but FL). We're trying to finish the basement so our house will sell for more and faster... and then we're outta here!
