This IS a big change. Just roll with it and enjoy.

Yes. All of life is a phase anyway. So weird without a preschooler at home!! Why is it so weird? It’s not all bad, but it’s very different!

Thank you so much!

Yes, that’s true. For the last move one of the boys went through maybe one of the hardest things he’s ever been through, and it hit us all so hard.

That you’re doing the worst, but it’s not bad. So everyone is doing.. fairly well, right?
I like the idea of not doing too much and it not being permanent. We all need to do that, I think.
And I miss having a preschooler at home too!

They are never easy. Some are more difficult than others. You have given some great pieces of wisdom here, some of which I wish I would have practiced. I thank God for lessons learned. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers.

I have close friends and plenty to busy myself with. It just takes time for me to fully feel settled in spirit at a new place, you know? Every single time it takes me about a year, and that is okay. You have to figure out what kind of adjustment phase works for you.”

This is my favorite paragraph. Not that I’m glad you’re doing the worst at all, but as a mom, if you can make that statement, then that’s the best place to be! I think we’d rather be taking the brunt of things rather than watching someone else we love going through it. Also, I think every move/adjustment for us has been so different. I don’t think I ever fully adjusted to our first big move. Our last move has been the easiest yet – though far from easy! But either way, giving oneself grace is a must!!!
