Spring is in the air!

Spring is almost here and after a cold and long winter, I welcome it with open arms! For those who live up north and are still experiencing cold days, I'm sorry! We have averaged 70 here and it has been great.

The warmer weather makes us open the windows and PLAY OUTSIDE! Jake especially has been outside from the moment he wakes up! We drag him in for dinner and then out he goes again!

The girls are doing great, they are enrolled in dance class and have been doing great at that. They ask every day if it's Thursday, dance day!

The transition has gone great! We have met some fantastic people in Vidalia and I'm happy to call this home. I'm beyond grateful for everyone who has invited us to dinner, answered questions, and been there for us when we needed something.

Most of you know I have sold 31 in the past, since the move, I have decided to try a new adventure. I signed up to sell Scentsy...you can read all about it at www.neenabloxham.scentsy.us! I've said before, I don't sell it to make money, I sell it as a way to concentrate on something else besides kids! I love them dearly, but it's nice to get out and think about something besides laundry, dinner, and tantrums!

Chris is still doing great at work. He too loves Vidalia and we hope we will make this a permanent move (hint to Republic)!

Take care,
The Bloxham's

WOW!

I don't know where to begin. My emotions are all over the place right now, I'm driving my family nuts.

Change is good, I understand that. I'm leaving my comfort zone though. I'm leaving so many things, it's hard to list them all. Let me start by saying that I have the most amazing support system here. From neighbors, to our church, to the multiples club, and doctors we have gotten to know here, I know that if I need help I have it. I'm grateful for everyone associated with these groups, in fact an amazing group of women went to dinner Friday to wish me farewell. Through the dinner, they helped me wipe my tears since I was SO emotional about all the changes that are coming our way. They laughed with me, and agreed with me when I explained my fears. I can only say thank you to these women. They have cheered me on through some of my darkest days and I'm internally greateful to each and every one of them.

The move is here, as the kids say one more night night and the packers will pack all of our stuff in boxes. They have been unbelievable calm through all the changes. Remember, Chris has been away for 5 months and they have handled this transition with grace. They are unbelievable children and I'm proud to be their mother.

I know Vidalia is only an hour and a half away, but it's a new town with new people. I must overcome my anxiety of finding the support system I have here, there. I must say EVERYONE has been so supportive there. I have contacted the Presbyterian church in Vidalia to let them know we are coming and I have started to attending the playgroup there. From the minister and his wife, to moms from the playgroup, everyone has been great.

Chris has settled in quite well. He has gotten to know a lot of city officials and has taken his new role with Republic well. I'm afraid he will be working long hours and have nights when he is going from meeting to meeting. We will make the best of it!

So here we go.....a journey I'm sure will work out, but I can't feel anything but nervous as it approaches.
