I just realized that it was 2 months today when we arrived in our new Ely home (located in the high desert of eastern Nevada). So much has happened in the last 8 weeks! My mood has gone up and down and down further; and on several occasions Brien has said, "I'm sorry you're unhappy, but I'm not sorry you married me and came here with me."
I am feeling happier now that I have a job to break up the day. I get more satisfaction out of library work then I do from trying to clean the house all day long. We may have dirty dishes (remember - no dishwasher, and I have only been able to spend 10 minutes at a time cleaning in the kitchen the last little bit), but even with dirty dishes I feel the best I have since coming to Ely. I'm sure Brien would agree that my improved mood is worth the sacrifice. I cried often when we first moved here but I don't think I've shed any tears in the last few weeks (last time was caused by Brien, but he bought me some pretty flowers to help with his apology). I had figured out how to keep myself busy just in time to find be hired in a job that forces me to be busy.
The people here are friendly and welcoming, they have made the transition easier. I think it will be easy to spend the next 3-5 years here. Who knows, maybe we'll stay longer.

It does get better, Andrea. Trust me- I had PLENTY of those ups and downs! But you'll look back in a year and see all the blessings that came from moving away. It's good to see you're having a good time at your job as well. Good luck with it all!
What ever happend to the lovely little visit from the two cutest girls on the planet. Didn't that cheer you up?!?
Well it was fun for me.
I can't imagine moving away. I know the day may come, but I'm sure it will be a larger town than Ely, hopefully. ...some colleges are in pretty small towns.
How Cute!! I love that my 4 children and one grandbaby that live far away are so available through the internet. Thank Heaven for making someone bright enough to creat it! By the way, Brien learned to be so great from his Dad. Glad you both are doing well on your jobs, enjoy your time together soon enough there will be more thank just you 2!! love you both MOM.
Andrea! Remember me? Amber Solomon?!...well Hagfeldt for the last 5 years of course!! I was so glad to get your email saying you had a blog. I've enjoyed hearing about what's going on in your life and your new marriage. I would have loved to have come to your wedding except that we're still here in Japan! I know how hard it is to move away from home but it does get easier. We've been in Okinawa over 3 years now and only have a year left and we don't want to move back! We'd stay here forever if the military let us! It was hard for me too but it gets easier. Good luck with your job and all and keep in touch!
Moving and being newly married are both hard and emotionally taxing. I had a hard time with my move and it was only 20 minutes away! I'm glad you're feeling better though.
Oops! That was me Amber. You need to update your blog to beta so I can comment without having to remember to sign my name! ;)
