I am happy.
Okay, those who know me know that I tend to find myself with a happy disposition. I come from the school of "fake it til' you make it" and it's just easier to be happy - who does it hurt?
Wait. Hang out with me for a minute. Who does it hurt?
Tonight I found myself in a conversation with my husband about our move to Montana.
Our move was a huge decision and it was a fast one - "hey, I think I'm going to apply for a job in Montana..." "okay" - That's the sum and total of our consideration. If we weren't meant to be in Montana, it would not have happened.
We miss you - everyone. We miss our best and closest friends. We miss our adult children. We miss our other dogs. JT misses Taco Bueno. I miss a good Texas steak. I really miss the people I worked with in Texas. We both miss the sense of humor of the South - ... uhm... it's different up here...
But - (ready?) We are happy. Montana is not perfect, but right now, it's perfect for us.
If you have been involved in our lives, you know the past three years have been hell. Stresses that no marriage, family, or parent should have to experience. Distancing ourselves from the chaos has allowed us perspective.
The scenery here blows our minds. It's just - wow - amazing. We can't wait for you to visit and see it for yourself.
Be excited for us - be who we have tried to be for you - celebrate our happiness. Please. If you have/had the opportunity to experience a new adventure - we'll celebrate you.
Texas is our base. Imagine what strong roots we have - but growth is never bad. It's hard - it's not popular - but celebrate our willingness to explore and our excitement in sharing it with you.
There are those who are near and dearest to our hearts - distance doesn't change that. And, for us, it never will.
I wish you happiness. Happiness that blooms, and grows, and reaches, and dreams.
Wishing you great joy.
