Holy crap, what a year! I know I'm shit at updating... bear with me. I'm busy... whatever that means.
My husband got offered a promotion at his job at with that came a big move. Indiana to Texas. Talk about culture shock! Everything is different here. Not bad - just different. We're adjusting well. The kids are making friends and loving it. The weather is usually pretty amazing.
As for me? I like it here. I'm homesick. I miss my tribe back in Indiana. They got me. Out here I'm afraid to be myself because I'm sure to offend someone. I say things sometimes that make old ladies clutch their pearls. Everyone here is so nice. Like... sickeningly nice. And I've been trying to be overly nice as well. And that IS me. I'm nice. Maybe even a little too nice.
But I also have anxiety that causes me to overthink and question every single word that comes out of my mouth. I'm constantly wondering if I said something to upset someone or if I said something I shouldn't have. I worry that nobody will get me. And I worry that I'm destined to spend every day in my house with my kids (who I love but could use some time away from). Or maybe I'm unintentionally trying to compare people here to the amazing people I had back home. I don't know... I'm just getting impatient and hoping and praying for a local bff to wander into my life.
In any event I'm happy to be here. 🙂
