Remind me to never move again!!! I did not imagine how stressful this event could possibly be. We moved a lot as a child, but now I’m the grown-up having to take care of everything. Plus, for those of you that haven’t heard yet, we are now expecting our fourth child. No, we did not do it on purpose…this is totally a God-thing, because no one in their right mind would get pregnant on purpose while trying to move five hours away!! I am unbelievably exhausted and stressed, poor Justin is having to carry much of this load himself. I don’t know what I would do without him or Kevin and Jen (our best friends) who have gone above and beyond in helping us!!
Finally Moving!! July 17, 2008
Well, we are packing up and heading out to Savannah next Friday. We find a cute house to rent that is exactly what we needed in mid-town. I have so many emotions going through me right now…excitement, anxiety. relief, stress, sadness…I honestly don’t know how to pin-point one feeling. We have been anxiously waiting this day and now that it is upon us, I feel kind of detached from the whole experience. It’s almost as if up until now, it was a dream, something that we were planning on doing in the future, but now it’s actually reality.
The scariest thing is, we haven’t even started to pack…we don’t even know where to start! How in the world do you accumulate so much junk in seven years??? We are also kind of stressed about our house not selling yet, but I know God will work that out in His own timing. The market is so bad right now that our realtors told us they were actually advising people not to put their houses on the market right now. Oh well, we’ll be okay for a while because Justin got that severance package at work. I’m just trying to focus on one thing at a time and not get bogged down in all of the details. I have to remind myself these are just puzzle pieces and God can see the whole puzzle!
WOW!! July 1, 2008
That’s all I know to say…God just totally answered a prayer!! Justin just got layed off at work because they were having to make cut-backs. This is an answered prayer because he was sweatin’ having to quit in a few weeks anyways and this way he gets a nice severance package that will keep us on our feet in Savannah even if we don’t sell our house right away! I am just in awe at how God works…He totally has taken care of a need (I am shaking while I write this!!). If He has done this, I am so excited to see what else He has in store…Savannah here we come!!:)
