Not on vacation

We have been living in Indiana for just over a week now, and I came to realize yesterday...we're not on vacation, we live here now. This was kind of a surreal realization. I was feeding Jacob yesterday, and thinking "soon we will be back in our regular setting in our room." Then I realized....no we won't, we don't live there anymore. I admit it was a bit sad. At the same time we are surrounded by great people and great opportunities here.

This week alone, I have gone to a friends house for coffee, went to Mom's group, went walking with a friend of mine and her kids, and got coffee. Went out to dinner with Brian's family and went out on a boat, where we took Jacob for his first speed boat ride!(which he seemed to enjoy!! So much that the movement of the water put him to sleep several times)

I have started to get little projects done to get my photography business moving, and hope to get my website project underway this week. I am also looking into networking with some local photographers around here. There might be a photography workshop in the area that will get me hooked in with some local photographers.

As I continue to realize this is our new home, I must admit to myself that I miss our house in Steubenville, and our friends there. God is blessing us with many things here, and is helping me to realize that He had plans for us!

Hey Rachel,

So sorry we didn't get to see you before you left, as we were consumed by an art show. So sad to see you go : ( but I know God has amazing things planned for you all. Good luck with the photography business. From one stay at home mom/business owner to another, it's tough but totally exciting! I'm still interested in looking through some of your work for painting inspiration. If you're still interested, we can work something out. Ciao!
