I'm sitting in the passenger seat as my mom takes the last driving shift down to San Antonio, so I decided to check in! My mom & I wanted to make it in time for the Rampage's opening night, so we got up at 5am today - help! Ha I like giving you guys a glimpse into our life because I know many of you are praying for us & curious about it! Your FB comments actually encourage us, so thank you for following along on our crazy life!
So here's life lately: The drive is pretty plain from ND down to TX, but it goes by fast (kind of!) We've been up and down & moved around so much that moving doesn't really phase me. I'm 99% extroverted; I make friends with the Target cashier; I was made for this life. LOL. I don't actually know what I'm going to be doing in San Antonio this year...BUT I already decided this year will be great. It'll be great because I decided it's going to be great. It's as simple as that. I'm excited because it's a new chapter; keep in mind it'll be a new chapter because I'm calling it a new chapter. Make your life what you want it to be. In a lifestyle where I feel like I can't control a thing most days, I can always keep my mindset in check - & so can you! Some days it's a challenge, but it's better than letting your circumstances dictate your quality of life. Even if all the stars aren't aligning & everything doesn't make sense, you can choose how you view your present reality. If you want a happy life, HAVE a happy life. There are so many things in this life that aren't up to us; I don't choose where we move or stay, but I choose to enjoy my life & set up camp wherever we land. Also Rocco usually makes sure we have a big closet whoever we move, so maybe there are some things you can control. Haha Lord knows I appreciate a nice closet. Being a hockey wife is harder than I imagined in many ways but also much more exciting than any life I could have planned. I move across the country multiple times a year to watch my husband pursue his dreams. There's a certain amount of sacrifice on my part, but it pales in comparison to the endless sacrifices Rocco & his parents have made throughout his life to get him where he is. Rocco does a great job of supporting me when I feel uneasy about it all. We keep each other standing tall. We're a team. I can't believe God has taken us so far in our young lives & new marriage. I can't tell you a thing about my future, & sometimes that makes me sad. Frustrated. Hopeless. Fearful. Even angry. But I've quickly realized that if I embrace my life the way it is, I can get the most enjoyment out of my days. It doesn't mean I'm not chasing my own dreams & thinking about the future - I am. It just means I'm not allowing my "ideal life" picture to ruin my present life, especially if I don't think I'm where I'd like to be. You can't let the ideal picture ruin the reality. Face your life with honesty & move forward in God's guidance. You're on your way. I don't know what I'll be doing in San Antonio this year, but I have some ideas & will get them rolling when I can. At this point I'm just excited to be turning onto a new page. No looking back, no straining my neck to the future. This is our life & it's full speed ahead. Follow my husband too if you aren't already & keep us in your prayers. Hockey season 2017-2018 HERE WE COME! Love from your singing hockey wife friend, Abby Grimaldi (Aka the one who gets a little too into the game whenever Rocco Grimaldi steps on the ice.)
