Still a young wife and mom?
It's 2026 and I'm reflecting. We're in Tennessee now. Its been a little over 6 months since the move from Texas. I love it here. I can't describe it but its where we're supposed to be right now. Hubs is loving his new job. Cam is now 10 and has made the adjustment well. Gaming and voice calls have made keeping in touch with his best friend easy. Ari is 16 now, and has had the tougher transition out of all of us, being a junior in high school. But she did get her license a few months ago and her first car for Christmas. A bunch of new friends and in constant contact with her friends back home. Me? Im missing my friends. Its not the same when you're older. We've had 9 years together, including the 2 years we lived overseas.
It's not as easy making mom friends now. My kids are older. There's no playdate groups for this age and stage. I honestly think this time has been for me to reset, but I can't deny it's lonely. And when I do meet moms, I'm usually the youngest mom of a teenager there so its harder to relate. So in a way I'm still a young mom I mean I started young and still going through all the teenager issues young. Maybe I'll find a new group or start one? No my social anxiety could never.
In a couple weeks, we will be celebrating 17 years of marriage and I still don't have it down. Marriage is an ever changing, evolving roller coaster of life with another person. I'm glad my partner is still willingly on the ride with me.
So that being said, I'm considering a rebranding. I have no clue yet what it could be if I go through with it. Just another thing I'm taking day by day.

Life. Marriage. Parenting. Day by day.
