Fumbling Towards Stability




me walking out of our OC condo!
I am starting this blog because A) I have recently become one of the OC's newest housewives :) and B) Myspace is not equipped to hold ALL the thoughts of my active mind :).
In the last year my husband and I have been in one, continous transition. We moved back to CA from Wyoming-that's right where there are still REAL cowboys with spurs and all! We moved into my in-laws house in Turlock for about a month, then moved down to the "OC", Irvine that is. :) I was substitite teaching on the side but T has had to travel so much for work lately so I have opted to go with him on many occasions. I have spent many weeks this past year living out of hotels and making friends with the room service people. But it is much better than being alone here in Irvine.! Just a month after moving down here, we are informed that we must move to the bay area before the end of the year! WHEW! I feel like a military wife who didn't sign up for this life! Though the past few months have been interesting and different, I am sooooo ready to be settled in a house again with a steady job and start our CA life together. I know it is important to be thankful for the present, bbbbbut being in transition is really hard. With no stability to our current lifestyle, it is hard to make friends, have routines, have a life again.
The only time my life has not been stressfulwas for the year we lived in Wyoming. I felt as though I was at some good- for- the- soul rehab center living with almost no stress. It was very refreshing. I do miss the signifigance of those wide open spaces and beautiful mountains. They signify peace for me. Simplicity. Contentment.
Well anywhoo-I'm getting off track. Back to my current reality.
