School starts in a few short weeks and i am sad. This summer has gone by in a whirlwind of working, camping, lakeside fun and beginning fresh.
We have packed up most of our two households and made many runs to the dump, the recycling, the salvation army and a storage locker. On thursday night we closed on a new home, each of us contributing fifty percent of the down payment. Equal partners.
Tomorrow i will go and enroll the kids in new schools.
My life has this theme of constant change. I am tired of it. I am hopeful that this move will be our last for a very long time. That we will be happy as a family again.
Shane and i have had an amazing month together. It has been painful and hard, but open and honest. We know how the problems started, we know about mistakes that were made. Now we just have to learn how to keep on this positive track together. It's not all a bunch of roses. There have been minor setbacks and some angry words passed. All of these things happen because we care. We care about each other and we care about ourselves.
We are terrified of ever going through another year like this. There are moments of trepidation and fear. There are moments of anger and resentment. There are many moments of quiet contentment.
