Winter, winter, winter.. As much as I was dreading this winter, it has been pretty great really. For the past week, Oskar & I have gotten out of the house everyday- woohoo! The best part is that we've been with other people too. It is amazing what a few hours of companionship can do:) My dear friend Dani and her baby Milena live about a block away so we get together with them at least twice a week. My other friend Gracie also lives very close and she picks Oskar & I up several times a week to get out with her & Parker. We are so thankful for these friends and there generosity toward us. It is still lonely being so far from family and friends, but I feel like I'm finally letting myself really dig in here. It took me a year & a half but I finally realized my need to be fully present wherever we live- even if I know it's temporary. So if you're reading this and find yourself in a "temporary" living situation - don't hold back! make it home- it may be the last home you ever know!
