Welcome to EmilyAG.

And she’s coming back. LOL. To be fair she has been here several times during this time of being “newly” moved in.

Between coming to help us around the yard and property, giving us her dog, (he was getting to be just a smidge too much for her, but more on Forest later.) exploring the new town and area and then helping me with some hosting moments. Like my brothers coming to town or hosting my first house warming party, which was a big event, the absolute biggest party we’ve ever thrown.

But it seems like she’s now coming once a quarter.

Let me start by saying I’m not upset or bothered by her being and coming around more often. Actually during this next visit Hubs and I are going to take a full on date day because I know this is gonna be another year of no vacation together. (As in he might have to go somewhere solo and I know I’m going away at the end of the month on a girls trip to wine country!)

Why I’m writing this post to begin with is I know she’s going to be coming like this every few month possibly till she moves here and I gotta come to some sort of grips with that. LOL. Her new retirement plan is even buying a RV or 5th Wheel and parking it at the bottom part of the property. I did have to remind her of some kinks to her plan last time she was here but I did see her wheels turning on what she can do to “fix that.” Because that’s how she operates. If it’s not how she wants it or sees it she has to find away to fix it. Like even replacing my shower heads because she didn’t like the water flow…

From seeing her once a year for the last 15 years to now seeing her every season for the length of a long weekend or more (last 2 times have been full weeks) I’m needing to make some extra mind adjustments.

For one, I’m very used to being alone. Like for the majority of my day I’m with dogs, cats, and chickens, well and Hubs randomly appears through out the day but it’s minimal. So during the time she is here I’m usually trying to come up with lists of things I need two extra hands to get done and places we can go to explore the area. We usually hit up the local farmers markets, pull weeds and find a new place to check out for lunch and a dinner to include the Hubs.

So in closing because I’m not sure where else to go with this post tbh because I’m a little nervous to speak too much further on the subject, I’m adjusting. I’m trying to change the way my mind and heart work when it comes to her. The past wasn’t so pretty so I’m really trying to let a lot of that go still and stay in the present with her.

Okay… I’m sure she’s on her way, packing, or planning her next trip out so I gotta go and clean “her room”. haha.
