Life

Home early from church with a sick hubby which means a little extra time to blog.  I usually only blog about whatever I take pictures of, but I wanted to start this one out with a little update on the adjustment to Oregon.  I thought I'd be way less stressed just working than I was with school but I pretty much reached what I think is close to my maximum stress threshold the other week (aka what I can handle without a complete mental breakdown).  Don't get me wrong, I was very close to a mental breakdown. I'm pretty sure I cried multiple times a day for at least a week straight.  Everything just kind of hit me all at once - I feel like I was grieving being done school forever, leaving Philadelphia, leaving my friends and family and on top of that being uber stressed over trying to figure things out with my new job on top of being completely triggered by things that were happening with my clients, and still feeling a little out of place living in a home that's not really mine.  And I got in my first car accident ever.  Not even a fender bender, just a trailer hitch- license plate bender thank goodness but still shook me up.  But things have been slowly getting better - not really calming down but I feel like I'm adjusting a bit more and learning a little more to just go with the flow.  We've had a little time to do some fun things amidst the craziness, including the air show a few weeks ago and visit my sister and her family in eugene.  Hopefully things continue to look up, I know that I just need to trust in the Lord that everything will work out in the end no matter what challenges come my way we'll be able to handle them.
