Jason and I are getting ready for a move at the end of the month to a bigger apartment with memories waiting to be made. As I start packing, it reminds me of stuffing boxes before we got married. Oh the anticipation and thoughts that went through my head...
"Me? Old enough to get married?" "Man oh man I have no idea what I'm getting myself into but bring it on!" "Will I be a good enough wife?" "Will I be able to make new friends?" "I am not a CA girl, but it's about time I get to be with my man, wherever it may be" Etc etc etc...
It was all such a bittersweet adventure. Not only did I get married, which is a huge change in itself, but I moved away from all I've known for so long; probably a larger treck than a lot of brides these days. However, it was all a great change. Of course it was difficult and emotional, but I wouldn't change a thing. I am happy, making memories, and living forward with my Jesus and my hubby by my side.
As we make all the preparations for our move in just a few weeks, I have thoughts running miles around my brain with excitement looking forward to what the future brings. With God, it brings greatness and I couldn't ask for more.
We make new memories each step of the journey through life. And it is hard leaving places with old memories, but we have to leave the old to make room for the new. Love the adventure!!!
ReplyDeleteRaina, I lived in CA for 1 1/2 years (probably before you were born) and I LOVED it. I made great memories and deeply regretted leaving, after I did... but God had a plan for me anyway. God bless you!!
