Putting it in Writing

I guess I have to accept that this is official.  I guess I have felt if I didn't put it out here, in writing, then maybe the day wouldn't come. 

Actually, we have been moving in this direction since July and we actually started praying and talking about it at the end of May (so for 6 months I have had time to adjust and now all of a sudden it feels it is happening very fast). 

We are moving.....soon!!  I know this isn't a shock to many of you.  I have said it on FB in responses to questions and have even said we were looking for houses but just never brought myself to actually post on there or here that.... YES, we are moving. 

Maybe you would think I would have announced it when the sign went in the yard.  Maybe I would have announced it when Jason actually had to leave to go start his job. Maybe I would have announced it when we had an offer.  I don't know I guess I just kept waiting.  Not really sure what for, but now I am officially letting you know (if you didn't already) that we are moving to a town near Savannah, GA. 



(Taken this past weekend, between looking at houses to rent)

I don't think I could even begin to express all that I feel or think about this. At times I am very excited about the new chapter. Other times I feel like I am having a tantrum inside saying "I don't want to go!" Even though I say that though I must say that Jason and I both do believe this is the path that God has placed us on and I do know that not all paths are easy. So I am trusting Him!! I can trust him and still be sad though.


When we moved to TN I didn't know I would like it here either. The first year here was SOOOO very hard in many ways but I have learned to LOVE Spring Hill and all my wonderful friends who were really like family! I have met some ladies who really accepted me and my boys. They have loved on us and I just love hanging with them and their kids. I am really going to be lost without my events planner Michelle:) My boys aren't going to know what to do without so many girls telling them what to do and that they are going to marry them :) I kept trying to find friends like I had in Tallahassee here in Spring Hill. God has shown me that they may not be alike but they are all so special in their own ways. My life is richer for having known all of them!!!

When moving to TN I didn't realize why we were coming here. I knew it was for Jason's job, but really God had a different plan. God brought us here and has taught us so much more than I could have learned had we stayed in FL. FL was great but I was too comfortable. I needed to feel alone and out of my comfort to realize how much more I needed Him. I am so thankful for the growth.

Through the friendships and the spiritual growth I think I can handle what we are going to face in GA. I hope I can anyway. Jason has a great job opportunity and we believe that this is what our family needed. We are looking forward to all being in the same state again! I am so thankful this didn't drag out longer and longer like it could have. Yet, we got an offer and then all of a sudden the movers will be here before I know it!

The thing is this time is different too because I don't know how to say Good-bye. When we moved from Tallahassee I knew I would see all these people again because our family is so close. I don't want to close this door and yet I am not sure when we will be back up here. I know that some relationships will change (all relationships do at some point....another thing I have learned while in TN) but I hope to keep in touch and visit and that some will visit us:)

I hope I will learn to love our new town as much as I love Spring Hill. I really really pray we can find a church that will encourage us and challenge us!! I hope I can find friends who are as wonderful as the ones I am leaving here.

I am sure I will have many many more updates on the upcoming journey. I will try and keep them upbeat but I am sure there will be days the emotions or overwhelmed feelings will take over. So here we go..... a little bit further south!


Now I have to come up with a new blog name too!!

(Another thing we did while there this weekend....we finally tried out Lady and Sons Restaurant....it was the only meal I needed to eat that entire day!  We really enjoyed it!)
