back on track

 

sometimes you just need to talk things out...and talk...and talk. relationships can be hard and two people can look at a situation from very different angles but communication is key.

and sometimes you find yourself coming to an even greater understanding of what you want. this is NOT an engagement ring but it is a promise and i love it and i look forward to our future.

selling my house was very stressful and emotional and even though the process was seamless, it seemed to take forever to get everything cleared out of that house. and then it took even longer to get the last of the stuff cleared out of the uhaul truck but as of last night, that has been accomplished and now all that's left is to go through everything in storage and see how it fits into our new house but i'm willing to let that process take a couple of months because i need a break.

one thing that helped me feel a little more normal this weekend was taking my 8 year old for a spa day. she'd never had a mani/pedi and i haven't in a long time so we indulged a little and it was awesome.

and one final thing that helps put me back on the road to normal is  being able to get my air conditioning fixed. it had been failing since october and finally just quit working in december. luckily it's mostly been cool this winter but this past month has seen more than a few 90+ degree days and making the almost 2 hour commute (each way) to work in that weather with no air has been brutal and given me more than a few headaches. with the sale of the house i finally had enough money to get it fixed this week and i'm so happy. i don't dread tomorrow's commute now.

so life has its ups and downs and goes on. coming up is a road trip or two or three, can't wait!
