One year ago..yesterday
I officially became a resident or Apple Valley Minnesota.
The same day we took possession of our home and unpacked many many boxes filled with tons of stuff and memories. The same day my friend, Rendy helped me organize my kitchen.
One year ago today I cried from heartache and fear of a new place and loss of one familiar.
Today I am in a much happier place......my home feels like "home" although it it 767 miles from friends and family. Yes......I still miss my home on Honeysuckle Lane and my Church on Second and Green and everything else left behind. But....yes there is a but.....I have made new friends and my children and husband are happy and in return makes me happy.

We are so blessed.


Today is our 366 night in our house. The boys are tucked in their beds and Pete and I are soon to follow.
Osa is standing at the door waiting to go out.
It's not much different than it used to be on 2547 Honeysuckle Lane.....it's just in Minnesota.
Good night!
