The Unknown


Today I think it's kind of starting to hit me, we're moving for reals. It's here and not so much this far off idea that someday might happen, Nope it happens Friday.

And I feel a little like I'm heading off into the Unknown.

Before every leap, there's always that little moment of panic or insecurity and in the early morning hours as I lay listening to Charlie Dog trying to persuade me to get out of bed with his quiet noises, that moment came.

But as the sun creepped into my windows, so did comfort and sense of excitement. There is also freedom in the Unknown. A chance To Be.  

"The only thing constant is this life is Change" (can't remember who said it but I've heard it quoted a lot lately). Change can be hard, but it can also be Beautiful.

Surrounded by moving boxes, some filled some destined to be filled, the shadow of panic is kept at bay by the quiet peace of faith and hope and knowing that I am not alone.

The scariness of change is out weighted by the excitement of Adventure. 

And that's end of my monologuing for today.

Thanks for the listening ear.

I think it's especially to move further away from your family... you guys will be truly clinging to one another. I honestly think that it was the best thing Jonathan and I did, moving away from home. :) We would have been just fine, our marriage would have been just fine, had we stayed in Utah, but we were definitely forced to grow together faster away from home!

You are going to LOVE Colorado!!! Especially going to visit Denver--so many beautiful and fun places to go!
