A Month of Adjustment

Just thought I'd log in another update on how we're all doing this month. This past weekend, my mom and dad came to help out with some big last-minute projects before the move. It was wonderful to see them and visit, and great to have their help! On Saturday, we patched up holes and painted over the beautiful purple walls in Zaylee's room. It was sad to see her room become so sterile once again. I loved her nursery and I plan to recreate it in our next home. Mom and I started packing in the kitchen, and Dad and I took apart the big corner desk in the office. Then Sunday after church, we had some help getting our fence apart from the guy who's buying it from us. That was a pretty labor-intensive task, but my dad took it like a champ and finished just before dark. So now, not only does Zaylee not have her familiar room, Peyton also has no backyard. In a way, it was a sad weekend of adjustment for them both.
But I suppose that's what this month is all about - adjustment and adaptation. I've also been a little out of my comfort zone being here with minimal food in the fridge (we're trying to get rid of it all before the move), no TV, and little interaction with the outside world. I keep reminding myself that in the end, this month of work will all be worth it.
And of course Robbie's had his share of adjustment this month as well. Whether it be adjusting to 4 ft of snow and sleeping under lean-to's in the wilderness, or going through mental combat in resistance training, or just getting used to being away from his little girl for a whole month, he's experienced many challenges, too.
But, we all seem to be making it through okay. I can't wait til we are all reunited again, have our house packed up, and we're pulling out ready to take on another new adventure in Oklahoma. God has always been here, guiding our steps, and may he continue to be with us each and every step of the way.
