To recap what has happened during the summer of 2016:
1.Bruce just turned 2 years old.
2. I finished first year working as a school nurse in Bellevue School District.
3. Will took a job at P&G that required a relocation to Cincinnati,OH
Boom, then, we moved to the midwest.
I vividly remember the hot, and humid month of August was so unbearable. We stayed at the Hilton hotels in Mason for almost 3 weeks? until we signed our new apartment rental lease. I had to fly back to work with the movers. A week later, our stuff were packed and shipped.
We faced numerous transition challenges. Not to mention about the weather difference, but also the people and streets. It felt suddenly like we were thrown back 10 years. The shops were old. The children museum was "vintage", a better way to say it rather than outdated. Kids were fine exploring all sorts of new places and meeting new people.
Soon, we discovered the part of Mason city is newer and more updated with city dollars. Versus, the other part of the town like King Mills is more farmland, and less retails stores. However, the locals were already complaining the increasing number of population or houses being built..etc. The economy boom wasn't going at a great scale whatever. I guess the town just didn't like too much changes at once.
To this date, almost 2 years later, I still miss the kids' preschool at Christ Church in Mason. The teachers were so great. The Mason Community Center had a lot to offer for kids and stay-at-home mom like me to get toned. Especially the Manta Ray Swimming team there gave Olivia a big confident boost. If we didn't live there, we would not have discovered her athelet capability.
I truly enjoyed the time we spent living there. It was the best time to explore with kids (age 2-3, 4-5), and going to places where mostly were kids friendly.
