Here's to new beginnings!

Well, John and I have a new house... Most of you do not know, because, believe it or not, not every single minute of my life, is posted for the whole world to see...  For some reason, certain people still seem to think so. (sorry I am a little bitter).  That is why I chose to leave the location of our new home undisclosed.  But I will post pics of the inside eventually.  3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, a double fireplace, custom Italian marble, and a little retro- chique twist.  I am pretty excited about our new home, and wasn't fond of the retro thing, but it is growing on me.  John and I also discussed it, and we decided to turn the 3rd bedroom, the smallest one, into my art room.  This is exciting, because I have put my passion for art aside for far too long, and it is about time I start getting into the swing of things again, or in this case, "the brush stroke of things".   So eventually, once we start getting the rest of the house out of boxes and all that fun jazz, then I can sneak away to my own private island and create and discover masterpieces from my inner soul.

Aside from the new house situation, I have a feeling that we wont be there as long as planned.  Which is a good thing, because we knew when we got ourselves into this that it was only going to be temporary, at least until some of my schooling was done.  However opportunity has arose to us, and we may be cutting it short.  So I have to keep telling myself not to get attached to our new little home.  John has received a business opportunity, actually he was offered part ownership of a business, and we are highly considering it.  In order to do this, we will have to move again.  The moving doesn't really bother me, so we are okay with that.  He will also have to have overnight business trips, sometimes for a couple of nights and sometimes for a week or so.  Hey, just because he was offered part ownership, doesn't mean he is not going to have to pull his own weight!  But in all reality, I think I am fine with these business trips.  A couple years ago, I would have thrown a fit, told him not to take the job, and all that upset wife stuff that is for the fear of being alone.   But I have grown up a lot in the past couple of years, and I have grown as a person.  So now I am prepared to sacrifice for our family.  I've done it before, and that was for 9 months! What's a week or so?  I am 100% sure that we will be just fine.  Besides with the way things have been going, I think we will be set financially and as a family.  Since John has received his VA rating things have been so good... We have felt less "stuck".  And that is a wonderful feeling.. Especially for us.   I think that the timing couldn't have been better.  I think that we are ready, and definitely better prepared for whatever the future throws at us.

So heres to new beginnings!!

Thanks for tuning in!
