New Everything

Since we sold our house we have moved in with a friend and Madison had to change schools. The junior highs here are only in 7th & 8th grade. Madison is in the 8th grade, so that meant only one year at the new school. Her old school had about 650 kids and her new school has over 900!
The school is very large, very confusing, very busy and very crazy in the mornings.
She also had to ride a new bus and try to find her "stop" in a neighborhood that she is not that familiar with.
To say the least, she was terrified on her first day of school.

She texted me after school and told me the buses were running late, so I told her just to call when she got home.

The next phone call I got was her in TEARS. Oh, no, what happened?

In her concentration mind set on the bus, watching the roads and looking for the correct bus stop, she left her phone on the bus.

She was beside herself. Once she calmed down, I did find out a few things.

• The kids were nice to her.


• She liked her classes.


• She liked her teachers.


• She met new friends.


• The kids welcomed her into the new band class.


• The kids were nice to her.

Day 2 went just as well and the bus driver had her phone.

Since we are in complete limbo waiting on our new house to be completed, things are constantly chaotic. I'm so thankful that things went well for her.

Here's to good days to continue.
