How I View New Beginnings | Personal Alert

You are probably thinking WOW how many projects does this lady have?! I guess it’s pretty obvious I know how to keep myself busy huh? LOL!

I am a part of an amazing group of women on an online forum known as Clickinmoms and on the pro side a couple of the ladies suggested a project very similar to one I am already doing. I thought why not. I REALLY need to get better about documenting my family and making sure I have photos of my children and these things keep me accountable! So I jumped at the opportunity. This one however is themed which will be great for me creatively. I thought it was really worth the effort and well it is a chance for me to use my imagination.

Shh I am cheating this month, don’t tell on me. See technically I should be sharing photos from January BUT when I read the theme was New Beginnings our move to Colorado popped right into mind and I haven’t shared any photos of our big move. We recently moved across country from Connecticut to Colorado and I absolutely love it here.  My photos aren’t traditional. They go in sequence from when we were actually on the road to just into January. I didn’t get to photograph much of our actual road trip because I drove mostly during the day to give my husband some relief since we pretty much made a straight drive. I didn’t realize the range of emotions I would have going back through these photos. The excitement and anticipation, the homesickness, the kid’s seeing the mountains for the very first time out the hotel window. It all just comes flooding back! Next month I will definitely have photos from February to share but I thought that this was to important not to use as my topic. It is amazing. When we were going through the process of moving I didn’t feel much of anything. Kind of numb. I didn’t even really cry when we left. Even when my family was barely holding it together. A good chunk of my family is back in Connecticut, including my mom. It wasn’t easy by any means. One night however I was laying in bed. It was fairly quiet, the kids were fast asleep and it hit me out of no where. I really just missed my family. Some days are tough but I don’t regret the move one bit. I genuinely love it here and our chance at a fresh start.

And because there is SO many photos below here is a link to the AMAZING Jessica Holden who I absolutely adore! You can find her post right HERE.
