A Whole Lotta New

Happy New Year, everyone! I know I’m a few days late, but since this is the first entry for 2025, I thought it was appropriate.

A lot has happened since the last time I wrote….

  1. We have moved to our new place in Tennessee, and we are in the process of settling in; it’s going to take some time to get everything fully unboxed and put away. It doesn’t quite feel like “home” just yet, but I know that will take some time. The new place isn’t perfect- there are a lot of outlets that don’t work and there’s no central heating or air, so I’m having to rely on space heaters for us to stay warm- but it will do.
  2. Being so close to Caitlyn is awesome. Our new place is literally 2 minutes from my ex-husband’s house, so the kids can come back and forth as they please- just like I got to do, growing up with divorced parents who lived in the same town. I know it makes everything so much easier for the kids, and they all three seem excited to get to spend more time together. We were able to spend New Year’s Eve playing games and hanging out, which was nice. I know the kids love not having to choose between parents for holidays anymore.
  3. Sawyer saw his new therapist for the first time over the weekend, and loved him! This new therapist specialized in children, and has a lot of experience with special needs children, as well, which is great. I think he will understand Sawyer a lot better and help him more than his previous therapist in Missouri.
  4. We celebrated Caitlyn’s birthday with a small surprise party at my ex-husband’s house over the weekend, as well. She was actually surprised, and she had a blast with the family and friends who were able to be there. I can’t believe my “baby girl” is 17!!
  5. Yesterday Sawyer started at his new middle school. He was really nervous and anxious all weekend, and he was really missing his friends from Missouri and feeling very homesick. I was anxious all day, worrying about how his day was going, and thankfully he came home smiling and said he had a good day. He said “It wasn’t like I thought it was gonna be. I didn’t get bullied, and I made some friends!” Thank the Lord!!! I hate that he worries so much about being bullied. My sweet boy just wants to be friends with everyone, and it really affects him when people are ugly toward him. I’m praying that he really does make some good friends here. I would love for him to make at least one really great friend.

So yeah… 2025 has started off well. Last year was an extremely difficult year for me and the kids; I’m praying that this year is much better for all of us. ♥
