Change

Zach likes to repeat a quote that his old boss told him when he told him that we were moving to Texas. He says "Change is not just needed for life it is necessary." We've had a lot of change, maybe a little more than our share. No matter how tough things have been or how small or big the change is we've made it through...so far at least :) We have uprooted our family moved over 1000 miles away, now live with the in-laws, I'm working full time, Zach is at home with the kids and going to school, the sale of our house fell through, and our air conditioner at the AZ house was stolen. I'm pretty sure that I'm missing some things, but still a LOT of change has been happening.

There is a lesson that we are suppose to be learning. We are being taught something, but what I'm not 100% sure. Could it be a lesson in trust, letting go, faith, asking for help or all of the above. I'm sure it is all of the above. I'm sure that in a few months we will look back and see the lesson clearly and see how our needs were met, but right in the thick of it it is hard to see the clear picture.

Like I mentioned above Zach is home with the kids and going to school. When we first moved to Texas he had multiple interviews, but nothing really was what he wanted. So we started exploring all options and it just hit me one day on my drive to work. Maybe he should go back to school. When we moved to Arizona we had talked about him going to school, but he really didn't know what he wanted to do and then the job at Cox came up and it was great so he took that. So now it was round two and we talked about it and he took time to think about it and research it. After a few days or maybe it was a week he decided to go for it. So he is getting his degree in IT. He is really excited about it and I am so excited and proud of him for doing this. He is doing something not only for himself, but for our family.

So while he is going to school he is also taking care of the kids since I am working at an office now. This is a bit change for him, but he is amazing with the kids and it is great for him to experience some of the things with Levi that I experienced with Chloe. Like I've said before it is hard to see him experience some of the things without me, but it is good.

I've never been a fan of change, but I think it is time for me to start embracing it. Maybe that is the lesson that I need to learn. I need to learn to embrace change and trust that it will work out. Only time will tell.
