So I am “officially ” moved to the peachy state! :) Yes, I left my sweet Texas and moved to the home of sweet tea, aka “The dirty, dirty south, y’all!” :) It has been a very crazy time emotionally …I’m happy because I am officially with my husband, and we are creating our life together…however adjusting has been pretty freaking tricky…
I went to get my hair cut recently…at Great Clips…I miss my hair dresser in Palacios…she rocked my hair and never questioned my not -all that natural hair choices. She knew my hair.
I was thinking today how crazy it is that in just a year my life changed so dramatically…dear cats I had no idea when 2011 started that I would be a wife one year later! Just thinking how much i cried over stupid boys, and how I never thought things were going to change…I really wish I would have known back then that I’d find the bestest man who would love me right, and that my life would change so much…would have saved me some stress and tears! :)
Anycats, looking back, I almost can’t wrap my mind around the changes and events that happened over the last year…my bible school journey, falling in love with a man 3 states away from me and becoming his wife, leaving my family and friends and all that is familiar to start a life in a completely new state...
What my thoughts really come down to I guess are gains and losses I suppose…is it true that something has to die in order for something to come to life?
I guess my mind is a bit active tonight…just missing what I knew. But the thing is, when I had what I knew, I wanted what I didn’t know…funny how that works. Being in a new atmosphere along with being a new member of a family feels weird at times…I feel like an adopted kid or an exchange student…I have all these people calling me family (which by the way, is such a great feeling…my husband’s sister called me sis…It made me happy :) but It still feels a bit odd coming in on something that was started so long ago…
Adjustment is always a bit tricky I suppose. And really, I’ve only been here for a few months…it still feels temporary…like a very real and long vacation of sorts…maybe I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that I no longer live with and around my family and friends…but I’m sure that in time it will feel like home…safe and secure, known and loved, and mine….i just hope that comes soon, because I could use that. Thankfully I have my husband and my God for those things, and they fill me when I don’t know how to do something so new.
So, here’s to the journey of a new life and all the crazy hard, and crazy beautiful things that come with it. May God bless it, and use it
