I’ve been neglecting this blog because I started one exclusively about the whole pregnancy and birth. But I will try to post at least once or twice a week from now on. After all, this is my “secret” blog for me to rant and rave on though it seems like I rarely do.
Spring is here and with a vengence. It’s been darn hot some days (and humid) while others have been cool. I’m lucky that I have my personal built-in heater (baby) so that when the temperature changes back to cold, it isn’t making me take out my coat again. Let me tell you that being hot and pregnant does not make a woman happy. I am so looking forward to feeling “normal” again.
So it’s been one year since I moved to the South. Yep, the day came and went (I think it was April 27) that would have been exactly one year since we pulled into Charlotte and unpacked car and kitty. Not sure what I was thinking about that day except probably something along the lines of “thank goodness we don’t have to drive another 8 hours tomorrow.” Living here has had its high and low points. As with anyplace I’ve moved to before, I’ve experienced some type of “homesickness” and it was no different here. Yes, I miss my friends and being able to see my family more often, but in retrospect, my life has also changed so much. Would I change what I did one year ago? Heck no! I am happy and content with the decision I made. I’ve adapted and made the best of it. I love the direction my life has taken and where it has taken me. I never thought I’d be here today and then again I am.
There is a lot to look forward to in the next year and the years to come. None of it would have probably been possible without moving here. Well I really shouldn’t say that because it would have been possible. I’m just glad I’m here with my husband, our cat and our baby on the way.
