Change is HARD!

We have had an eventful couple of weeks, full of about as much stress and change as is possible to fit into one's life. Last Monday, my father passed. I was able to be with him when he took his final breath, and I know he is in a better, more peaceful place (hopefully starting a band). This has been extremely difficult on me as I am an only child and my father was single; it is a time where I really feel all alone. Add that to the most stressful project I have EVER had at work which has been going on for two months, and selling a house, buying a house, and moving.

I realize it's easy to think that I am the only one this stress is affecting, but I really have seen the toll on my family. Mason has adjusted beautifully to the new house, and started crying today when we asked her is she wanted to go back to the old house, but Blake has been extra fussy. I thought he might be getting sick, but then I realized he just needed (real) attention and needed to adjust to the newness in his own way. Bryan is always the stable one, and he started feeling the stress as well; without him as our pillar of stability, we all start falling apart!

We are so happy to be in our new home, and know that we will have a happy life here - we're just ready to leave the past month behind us and start our new adventure. Thanks for everyone's love, support, and well wishes. We hope to see you at our new home soon.
