P-Town

With all the construction going on in our hall this summer (two new lobbies, our new bathroom, new courtyard and the modernization of the fire alarm system) we opted to move from the chaos and banging and ringing to head back to our roots (P-town means, Placentia). We (ry and I) if you don't know this already, grew up together (since 3rd grade, we even had a class together, our 3rd-4th grade was a combo class and i was in 3rd and he was in 4th!) and we moved back to his home with his parents this summer.  It is an adjustment.  I LOVE his parents, that's not the adjustment.  It's living not in your own home, where you can watch what you want to watch, be in a part of the home where you want to be...leave stuff around and be lazy about cleaning b/c you can... i don't feel that freedom yet.  I will.  I just don't yet.  I'm adjusting.  It's just not our home.  Is this indicative to what it will be like next summer when we actually finally move out of hart hall, our beloved home for 8 years?  feeling like adjustment is coming earlier than i had hoped.  sigh...

ry is also gone at an ACSD (don't know what it means, sorry, something conference for student development??!) conference in Ohio.  I'm so stoked for him to get some R&R with his collegues, but wish he was here while we all adjusted.  The kids are particularly squaky (sp?) and adjusting to a new bed and room...new stuff...we will survive and make it work!!  there is a lovely park within walking distance, they have an AWESOME backyard so we can run around, play, catch bugs and butterflies...their cousins come by often so we can all hang out together, free laundry (yeah!!), and a beautiful home/roof over our heads.  I am so grateful for my in-laws and the relationship i have with them that we can live under one roof for a summer...it's just not our home and an adjustment.  

thanks for letting me process.  any summer plans for you?
