Life is good!
It's been over 7 months since I last posted here but this blog is like a comforting, old friend that I'll keep coming back to from time to time,A lot has been going on since we finalized Boo's adoption. For one thing, we moved...like the day after Boo's adoption! Oronzo was offered a job in another state and we felt it was worth the move.
It was hard leaving family and dear friends to move to a small town area where we knew no one, but I was confident that we'd make friends quickly. I'm a rather social person.
The biggest appeal to the town were we live is that it's a mere 5 minute drive from the ocean! In fact, we can bike to the ocean from where we live. It's incredible!
We've settled in nicely to this community and we've already begun to make new friends. It helps that Snuggle Bug is in Kindergarten. I think all of our new friends are parents of children at the elementary school.
The move has been good for our family. It's given us a fresh start. We went through so much emotional turmoil to get Boo adopted that we really felt that a change would be refreshing. We were right. Snuggle Bug and Boo have adjusted quite well to the move, far better than we ever hoped for.
Somehow, our family feels more at peace now with this new adventure. We are enjoying exploring our new surroundings.
I know part of our peace comes is due to the release of stress of wondering each day of whether or not Boo would be taken from us. Now she is a permanent part of our family and we're so thankful.
I sent an update to Boo's bio mother after Boo's adoption. I mailed it to an address that she told me would always be a place to get mail to her, regardless of her circumstances. I never heard a word back from her. I'll try again in the future.
As of now, life is good, very good. I hope all is well with you.

Nice to see an update from you :) Glad you guys are settling in nicely to your new community!
That's so cool how close you are to the ocean. :) Hope you're enjoying your new home!
This is such wonderful, wonderful news! East coast or west coast? Being by the ocean is always wonderful. I am not surprised the kids have adjusted well. Kids are so flexible and as long as their core is stable and loving they are fine.
How are you doing? Enjoying your children and relaxing from all the stress I hope.
Hugs and keep in touch!
Haven't heard from you in ages. How are you doing? How are the kids? KEEP IN TOUCH! Hugs!
