Tomorrow is a very important day for my family. Many of us are starting new beginnings August 28th and I cannot be more proud and excited for all of us. We have always said it takes about a year and a half to two years to adjust to each place we moved, and repeats are no exception. Well, we are reaching our two year mark this November, so this timing makes perfect sense.
Let's start with my older sister. I am so excited for her stepping back into the work place! She got a great position at an elementary school in town, where she used to attended many moves ago! She will be working in the kindergarten, and although it is not in Violet's class, it is in the same building which is so perfect and I know will make it so much easier for their family! I am already seeing so much growth in my big sister and I know this is only the beginning for her! Speaking of Violet, and my older niece Olivia, we have two milestones for them two! Olivia is transitioning into upper elementary, which means another new school for her two years in a row since last year was her first time in public school. I know she is conflicted on what to feel as she is back and forth with nerves and excitement, but talk about a transformation! This child has gone from Little Liv to practically pre-teen before my very eyes! I see the joy in her every time I see her, making friends left and right, representing arrow domination, she loves it and I'm so proud of her! Now Violet, oh my goodness, this girl is marching into kindergarten like she has found her life's purpose! She is ecstatic to be in school where her big sister and mommy once roamed the halls. She was born for this day and is so excited to learn and ride the bus like a big kid! I have never seen such genuine and strong happiness like I have seen in her to be going to school. Joseph!! My not so little brother! Has decided to start college! I can barely contain myself and I am actually crying right now writing this! He'll deny everything I say until our final days on earth but I know this was a hard and complex decision for him. He never wants to put anyone in a difficult situation and was nervous that attending college would do so. His heart is huge and his IQ is probably just as big if not bigger! We share a lot in common, the IQ is not one of them, but our feelings and personalities are a lot alike, so I know how big of a deal this is with stepping out of his comfort zone. I am so unbelievably proud of him and over excited to see him spread his wings as he steps into adulthood this year! He has such a big life ahead of him! Melony. My pal. My sidekick. You're a junior. An upperclassmen. When I was a junior you would jumped on my friends and made mom but you a Kesha cd because you heard me listening to tick tock. You were my go to actor for my failing YouTube career. Now you are the same age. I don't know how that even happened, but you are so much cooler than I was! You have a head on your shoulders. You know what you want and you do it. Boys love you, girls want to be you, and I know sometimes you struggle, but you always rise above it all and dominate whatever challenge you face. You are the definition of arrow domination and I would march into Mr. Rileys office and tell him so if I didn't KNOW you could and would beat me up hardcore. You have grown so much and you have no idea how excited I am for you to experience your upperclassmen years!! Lastly there's me. I got the job as a preschool teacher working along side a few others. I'm very excited for this new chapter and to gain more experience! Not to mention I am in the final countdown of getting my degree with only a hand full of classes left, teaching exams in sight, and about a calendar year left until student teaching and graduation!! I just see so much growth in our family and this is what I always dreamed moving back to Ashland would be like. God is so good and I think I can speak for all of us saying how thankful we are to be together and grow together in a town we love. Team Calabrese is rising up! Watch out Ashland 😜 Much live and God bless, -X
