Home Sweet Home

The decision we made to move back to AuGres did not come without some sacrifices:  Tom had to leave an office full of friends, some that he’s worked with since his time at Mactec; I had to leave a full-time teaching position (not an easy find in this economy) at a school that was supportive and colleagues that I thoroughly enjoyed working with; we couldn’t sell our house so we have to deal with renting that out with the hopes (*please*) that we can sell it sometime in the near future.

There are times though when we have the opportunity to experience and enjoy the reasons that we did make the move though.  When we can wake up in our own bed on Christmas morning (one of my favorites.)  When my Mom can come over a couple of times a week to visit her granddaughter.  Knowing that Sophie will be surrounded by family as she grows up instead of just being a visitor.  Even a little thing like being able to hang out for a couple of hours and go snowmobiling with Tom’s family is something that we wouldn’t be able to do at the drop of a hat if we lived a couple of hours away. 

So yeah, despite some of the hardship and sacrifice that has come with the move (I sure do miss Dos Pesos and their steak quesadillas), it really is nice to be home sweet home.

Enjoy the pics of Sophie with her grandparents; hopefully we’ll be able to add Grandpa Grant’s in the near future.
