(Editor's Note: So if you can't tell yet, I haven't really decided what direction to take this blog. And i guess i'm in no hurry to find out :) I've been itching to write for some time and well, now, I'm here so let's get a crackin'!)
I know it's August and the last post I made was sometime in the spring. It's not that I've been intentionally ignoring anyone, simply been very busy. My wife and I made a decision that we were going to ease back a little and enjoy the summer. We wanted to take more time off and go places. And while it hasn't worked out so far like we'd have liked it to, we were able to get away to Ocean City, MD for a while and take in the sites. And it was worth every penny.
The house is in the process of being sold and we've since moved out into an apartment (nice one to be sure) on the 3rd floor. Talking about huffing and puffing on the day of the move out. 95 degree weather almost 100%humidity, I was hurting. Finally after 3 days (we took our time) everything was there and the old house was cleaned up. To be honest though, I wasn't prepared for what happened next.
It was the adjustment period. I mean, I knew it would take some time adjusting but it was hard. Hard to leave the house where steph was born, where Fernando got his first laptop; the memories, the fights, the moments of Stephanie's firsts - all of it we had to leave. Leaving a one floor 3 bedroom house to go to a 2nd floor apartment with 2 bedrooms. I think it was hard for everyone - stress, well there was plenty of that. Home created as well as work created.
But now, things have calmed down. We've gotten back into the swing of the things, but it's amazing the difference an apartment complex brings. Playground equipment, pool - let's just say Steph is spoiled.
Update later.
