Boxes. Boxes Everywhere.

Is it possible that after you have children, life passes by 100x faster than before? It does not feel like we have lived in our apartment for a year. However, it's moving time again. Katelyn loves moving time because there are new toys (empty boxes) everywhere! I do not love moving time. Packing is an overwhelming task when you're packing a 2 bedroom place alone and trying to live in it simultaneously. However, that's what I will be spending this week doing. Packing.

Funny thing is, I just unpacked the final boxes two months ago. Unpacking made this chapter of my life real, permanent, when I was not ready for it. Therefore, I put it off as long as possible. Surprisingly once the apartment was unpacked and had photos on the walls, it felt more like home. I never expected that I could like this place.

A lot has changed in the last year. Katelyn and I are now happy and strong. At this time last year, I felt defeated and did not think life would be okay again. I cringed at the thought of living in this apartment. We lived in a box maze for months solely because I was in denial that this was permanent. 

Good news is, we made it. Life is good. We can only enjoy the present, look to the future and keep moving forward. May this next year be another adventure!
