It’s been way too long since I last blogged, but I have a good explanation. Make that several good explanations for the long time no blog!
On June 17th, just a week after our school year was finished, my husband and I loaded up the largest U-Haul we could find and moved back to our hometown in South GA. This decision was a much harder one than I ever could have expected. Both sets of our parents are in GA, all our siblings, and my grandparents and other extended family. But leaving Saint Petersburg, FL wasn’t a decision we took lightly. By making the decision to move back to GA, we were gaining immediate access to our parents among other things, but we were also leaving other family and the best friends in the world behind.
Our Life in St. Pete
A new opportunity:
So the difficult decision was made. We decided to trust The Lord to lead us home, and we will continue to seek his guidance in how long we stay. It may be forever, and it may not. We may find our way back to Florida one day, or we may just enjoy frequent vacations there instead. But no matter where we are, our Florida friends and family are forever in our hearts!
A new house…
So in addition to the out-of-state relocation and new jobs, we also began building a house. Until the house is finished, we’re currently living in a family cabin on the out-skirts of town (way out in the country). While it’s an awesome (and free!) place to stay, it unfortunately doesn’t have internet. So needless to say, blogging and making TPT materials hasn’t been the easiest thing to do these days!
Promises, Promises
Even though I’m having to be very intentional right now about finding time to blog, I promise I’ll be back in full swing soon enough. Our house will be ready soon, and although unpacking will take some time, I’ll be back on a regular basis very soon!
I hope you all are having a wonderful summer and have a great start to the new school year! And if you don’t already, you can follow me on Teachers Pay Teachers (Whitneyslp), to receive email notifications about new products that I’ll be adding in the next few weeks, just in case I don’t have time to blog about them all!
