Home Sweet Home

With a whirl wind of emotions, some personal struggles and a few life changing events at the beginning of August I decided I had, had enough of living in Kingwood. 


I never wanted to move but did it for Steve to support him but in the end I was unhappy.While there were some good things about our new home and the area it just wasn't where I knew I wanted to be long term and being away from home made me realize just how much I loved living there. I missed my family, my friends and my life in SA.


So after we decided we wanted to move back home and Steve had a job lined up with  his old company  (who gladly gave him a raise to come back) we realized Rylee would be started school in a matter of weeks and we needed to move before this happened. It was so hard to move her again, she really loved living in KW and her sadness just broke my heart. While it was hard to see her cry I had to think about the future and I know its easier to move her now than later when she is in HS.


We found a house through some friends and through out the entire month of August we made the move back home settling right outside SA in Cibolo. It was as always stressful and tiring but worth it as we got everyone set up just in time for Rylee to start 7th grade and Gaige to start Pre-K. Everyone asked why we didn't move back to our home and we didn't for two reasons. One we have renters in it who we love and are taking great care of our house and two we want to live outside of SA and plan to buy/build next year. To be able to buy another house we need to show we have renters in it so that debt doesn't count against us on our debt to income ratio. :) This rent house we are in is in a nice area and its bigger so I like that a lot but once again I don't feel settled and I hate renting. The thought of moving again makes me want to pass out but at least I know it will be close as we want to stay in this area, in this school district and it will be our last move.


It has been a little harder of a move for Rylee as she doesn't seem to be making friends as fast as she did last time and she didn't make the volleyball team which was devastating to both of us. She isn't taking any good electives cause we registered her so late and she isn't a fan of all the working out she is having to do in athletics. lol This last year has been rough on all of us but it has affected her more than anyone and as a parent its hard to know our choices are affecting her so badly. :(


But a new year is coming and I am looking forward to what it has in store for our family!
