I just began the process of... moving into my grandparents' home in Hillsboro!
At first I was terrified. Even as I drove here today I felt super depressed. I had just begun really having a great summer - playing with my siblings, developing better relationships, establishing a routine - and moving was going to spoil that. But, now that I'm here, I'm so stoked!!! So very excited! I had planned on living here just the nights that I absolutely needed to, since work is literally ten minutes away, but now that it's all going down.. I think staying here will be awesome and probably more than just "when necessary". More like part-time or 3/4 of the week. I'm excited to explore Hillsboro and find new things and get to know my grandparents more!
Not going to lie, I want to be home. I'd prefer there to here, as is natural. I want to be able to take the littles to the library and pick Kai up from school and spend restless days with Mom, going to lunch with Stadd. I love home. I love the yard and the cramped, old house, and Hockinson in general. I'm mostly going to miss spending every waking moment with the family. But, I can't afford to drive the 45 minutes to Hillsboro from Hockinson every day so this makes the most sense. Besides, when school gets out the kids can come spend time with me over here! And we'll go to the beach! And we'll explore Hillsboro together!
If I was a Twitter-holic, which I'm not, I'd say something like this #lookingatthebrightside.
Uh.. no.
Looking at the bright side. :)
