Settling In

I have been in Charlotte for exactly one week and am beginning to feel settled.  I stayed in Idaho for a month after Richie had left for training camp and spent each day missing Charlotte terribly.  Mostly because I missed my husband, but  I also couldn't wait to get back to the hustle and bustle of the city and the friends we have made here. Then I arrived!  The second I walked through the airport doors the humidity hit me.  That night I laid in bed wide awake listening to the sounds of the city. It was loud!!! I couldn't believe it! I had spent the last 8 weeks missing those sounds and now they seemed to be screeching at me.

It took a few days but Lilly and I are settling back into our old routine.  Each morning we get up and head out the door for a walk in the city.  I love the crispness of the morning air, watching everyone dressed up in their business attire walking to work, and visiting with the other people out walking their dogs.  I have spent a few afternoons visiting with the wonderful girlfriends that I have made here and my evenings cooking dinner with Richie and sharing the details of our days.  The sounds of sirens, vehicles, street sweepers, and trains are once again the lullaby putting me to sleep at night.  I am feeling very blessed and happy to be here.

Xoxo,
