Time to breathe!

Whew! Its been a whirlwind during these past, several weeks.

Packing, schooling, change of address emails/phone calls/paperwork, more packing, moving, unpacking, more schooling, a little bit of decorating, more unpacking, even more schooling and getting ready for our homestudy classes. Yowza! We've been working hard.

I've barely had time to catch my breath...until now. So, while we're breathing and decompressing (and still unpacking), I thought I'd share a few things that have made me say "Ahh!" during these recent days:

  • The two skylights and plentiful, natural light in our new apartment.
  • The QUIET in our new apartment!
  • Spending time with our homeschool friends.
  • Knowing that our son LOVES his new, twice-a-month, co-op group and his once-a-month, outdoor wilderness classes.
  • Knowing that our son also loves being in Civil Air Patrol! What??? You're the parent of a 12-18 year old son or daughter who may be interested in the Air Force & you've NEVER heard of Civil Air Patrol?????  www.gocivilairpatrol.com
  • A few hours of downtime at Panera (free Wi-Fi!) + my Basic Airman Cadet at his weekly Civil Air Patrol meeting =  dinner treat for this mama and a new, blog post! 
  • Racking up extra homeschool hours during the summer...another vacation to Florida at the end of this month (that also deserves a woo-hoo!).
  • Knowing that an amazing, little girl will someday (hopefully soon) come home & enjoy the new room and apartment that we're getting ready for her! 

These little things (and even bigger things) may not seem like a big deal to you... but to me, they're blissful moments and bring me peace.
