My family has recently moved from Illinois to Virginia and it feels a bit like starting over. The move was brought about by my husbands new job. For me this is exciting, but certainly not easy.
We have now been in Virginia for about three weeks and it has become increasingly clear to me that I am starting over. I may bring with me things that I have learned, but there are so many new things to learn. I also must leave behind all of the friends that I had made and work at finding new mothers with whom I can connect.
I have realized, now that it is hundreds of miles away, that I had grown comfortable in Rockford. I had friends whom I liked and trusted and with whom I shared my daily mommy struggles. I had learned my way around and new all the best places to get whatever is was that I needed. We had a routine and a balance that moving has shattered.
Yet I am happy to be here. There are so many new and wonderful opportunities that await us.
