A New Beginning

I have decided to start this blog because my life is taking on one of the biggest transformations ever!  I am packing up my belongings and staring a new life in a new country.  There are so many conflicting emotions that I don’t whether to be happy and excited or sad and nostalgic.  I chose most days to be excited at this new opportunity to explore and live new things.  My husband and I will live alone as a couple without any children at home for the first time ever.  When we met I already had two children and then we had another one so this is a new experience for us.  My only sadness is that my family is staying here in the states.  I have a new grandbaby on the way and I want to be a big part of her life.  I am sure this will cause us to make our times together as a family from now on really count.  I will not go into many details of my move in this first entry.  This is just the beginning of documenting my journey as I want to later be able to remember each step in the path to my new life.  To my family I want to say thanks for the support and love you have given me during these times.  Only my family knows how hard this has been and how well things are turning out for us.  God has been wonderful to us and blessed us in so many ways.  My journey is certainly a testament of how God never gives us more than we can handle and how important it is to have faith in him.  We may not always understand what he has in store for us but if we follow his path his intentions for us become evident.  He does not lead us in the wrong direction we just need to be follow his path and accept it willingly.  To my sons I can only say how proud I am of you and how blessed I am to have you in my life.  You have lived up all to my expectations and more! To my daugher-in-law my admiration for her love to our family and generous loving spirit.   We are so lucky that God made you part of our lives.  I have loved since you joined our crazy family. To my future daugher-in-law we welcome you with open arrms and loving hearts.  I wish for you and my son much happiness.  To Adriana and baby-girl Leiva we also welcome you with much happiness to our crazy world. To my nephews I want you to know how much I love you and enjoy the time we spend together.  I know I am always busy but I think about you each and everyday.  To my parents thanks for being there for me and loving me no matter what.  To my sister and her husband thanks for not only being there for me but giving my son a home!  I know he is in right place!  No one else will take care of him like you will!  To my uncle thanks for everything and your help as well.  To my husband I say wait just a little longer in nine weeks I will be in our new home!  To my sister – what can I say you have been with me since the beginning of time!  I still say the best gift mom and dad ever gave me – was you!
