On June 8th the phone rang at about 7am. I heard Monty talking saying, "Are you serious? Is this a joke? This is so awesome!! I can't believe it. We can be there July 1st." I have lived with him long enough I knew exactly what was going on, but just wasn't sure what school was calling. He was so excited as he told me all about it. Creighton, University had opened up a spot for him in their premed program. Classes had already started, but we had a month to get there and they were okay with that. In a month we were able to pack up our house, rent it out, get a house in Nebraska and move into it. It was a crazy month. Although I was really excited for him, I had a hard time leaving Fort Collins. I loved Fort Collins and had made some pretty great friends there. Leaving and starting over would be hard. We have moved several times before so I knew what it was going to in-tale. I am not going to lie--I came kicking and screaming. I mean, I was willing, but fighting all at the same time. There were so many changes and all at once. I knew Makai was going to be starting school. Having your youngest start school means CHANGE. Having your husband quit his job to go back to school means CHANGE. Having to go back to work after years of staying home with your kids is CHANGE. Moving to a new state is CHANGE. All the change at once seems overwhelming. When we got here our new ward was here to meet us and help us unload our truck. I was NOT in the mood to meet anyone, but put on a happy face and pretended not to be as scared as I really was. They were nice and we unloaded in an hour. Now I get to unpack and make this house a home and Monty will start school.
First thing we learned about Nebraska--People here are crazy about the Fourth of July. I have never seen so many fireworks!!
Nebraska has fireflies!!
Nebraska is humid!!
New adventure, here we are.
