My Body Has Moved, But.....

....my heart is feeling a little confused.
It's interesting that you can find a home, love the home, move into the home, and still it doesn't feel like home. Not yet, at least.
I have a love hate relationship with change. And we have had 3 major changes this year. I love the new adventure, I hate starting over. I love knowing there are new friends to be made, I hate leaving my old ones. I love that no one knows me and I get to introduce myself afresh, I hate that no one knows me and I have to introduce myself. I love that we are closer to Dr's, and grocery stores, and a park.........I hate that I can hear traffic at night and don't wake up to the sounds of crickets and owls. I love our huge yard, I hate that we have to put another yard in.
Poor Heavenly Father......He must be so tired of having the MOST conflicted child ever to have skin. Mostly, every day, I'm grateful. Grateful to know what it feels like to want and go without, so I see the blessings and gifts a little quicker than I might have before. I am grateful that I left little Declo with such sadness as moving there was so difficult for me.
More pictures to post later. As soon as I wade through the sea of boxes that might contain my camera.

We moved on April 30 and we just unpacked our Calendar last week. I had actually looked in the box it was in, just not far enough. So you might find your camera in time for Christmas. I feel like I missed out, we never did see your house in Declo. Or anything in Declo, for that matter. Probably never will, now!

Baby is getting so big! Lots of hair compared to ours! gotta love it

Hey Cam! I know, we've missed out too. We have to get together the next time we are down your way. Are you still in Bountiful? Darren is enjoying teaching in Shelley and it's nice to be closer to family and civilization, but we miss the country. I'll post pictures of our current residence and area soon. Hug Amy! Love, Jenn
