The kids have found familiarity in the day-to-day at a new place, and they're involved in a ton of activities! All of your pictures have been lovely, so that's a bonus to your move! Wonderful area to walk/hike. I'm happy Figment is warming back up to you, too. <3<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-33284747291414583792019-04-14T22:01:42.706-04:002019-04-14T22:01:42.706-04:00I am so sorry that the adjustment has been so diff...I am so sorry that the adjustment has been so difficult. Honestly you are so brave for even doing it to begin with, so be extra kind to yourself ♥♥ I assume this helps zero percent but you could go try to stalk The 100 cast in Vancouver when filming starts again? I'll come help! I am really glad you sold your house financially, but I can imagine how hard it must be for you emotionally. None of this is easy, and I am just hoping it starts to feel a little better soon for you. <br /><br />You and Fonzi will be in my thoughts, and I am sending ALL the good vibes your way. I am so, so sorry you're dealing with this on top of everything else, and I really hope you get some better news soon. And I absolutely hope you splurge on a camera- you 100% deserve it!Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-54420968400860312172019-04-14T19:34:18.100-04:002019-04-14T19:34:18.100-04:00Sending Fonzi all the good thoughts and vibes!

I did it the first year we were together, but I would probably do worse than you if I had to do it now. The view is lovely. I'm a mountain person so your snow-capped peak draws me.
