Last I blogged I was bummed and wondering what would happen with our lives. What I should be doing and where we were going. As of next week, we have been in the Bay Area of Northern CA for a full year. Rich has been the Store Director of a Circuit City here in the Bay Area of Northern CA for over a year now and things have been moving along. The kids are in an awsome school and I happend to "fall" into a job at their school. It is awsome to be near them all day.
Nicolas graduated from Kindergarten last June.
Problem is, I am not, well, WE are not happy. We have a gorgeous, huge, expensive home we are leasing, we have all the amenities of living in a large metropolitan area with lots of things to do, my kids are getting a great education at a top private school, and we pretty much have no worries. Wish we were happy here - but we are not. We very much dislike being away from family. We hate having to work so much just to live our lives. Life is stressful!!!!!
We are looking at life differently these days. We are looking at downsizing our lives and our lifestyle. Now we are waiting for God to show us where we need to be. We are confident that we are not supposed to be here in this town, living this lifestyle. I am confident that I am not like the Jones's family and have no inspiration with keeping up with them!
I have been sorting and packing lately. I want to be ready to move so that when that time comes, we can go.
What is up with the 2008 Elections? No matter what - we will make history this year. Whether it is an African American President or a female Vice President, it will be historic. I am not sure what I am going to do this year. I am still on the fence!
Well, that's it for now - It's the first day of school tomorrow for us- Nic will be a first grader and the little ones will be back in preschool. Hayden will be in the "Bear" class and Grace will be in the "Bees" class.
Will update with first day of school photo's later in the week.
