New beginnings

It's officially official! My permanent address is in D.C.! With the past 6 months of having my husband in D.C. working and prepping for me and Ava to come as I stayed back and finalized things; we are now "reunited and it feels so good!" Lol!
With the wonderful and constant support and packing help from "my person", Lauren, this moving situation wasn't as stressful as it could have been. Although I hit many walls of exhaustion and copped some attitude, Lauren still stayed around to help me work it all out! *thank you*!
My wonderful husband did such an amazing job painting our new place and loading, driving 10+ hours, unloading, returning trucks, going to work, AND still took me and Ava out on a date! I love you sweetheart!! *insert brownie points*!
Even though I am inundated with these boxes to unpack and I hit pockets of missing my mommy, it's so energizing to know that I am unpacking my future! Now don't get me wrong, moving to a whole new city is mortifying and intimidating; I'm going to have to put myself out there and meet new people, we are trying to find a new church home, and having to experience personal failures and triumphs. One thing remains true and that is we are so excited to live out the plans that we talked about even before we got married! Some people mentioned feeling like our move was so sudden, a lot of people are not aware that we have been faithfully praying about this move for 7 years! Plus, when God moves, the planning might be methodical, but the action is swift.
Every morning when I awaken, I have to remember where I am and then a feeling of terror sweeps my body and makes me feel like I'm going to faint because I realize how much responsibility God has trusted me with, then I get a wave of warm comfort because I realize how much responsibility God has trusted me with! So it really is all a matter of how I view everything! And I have to make the conscious decision to be positive, and when I can't, that's when I reach out to my inner circle that will and does encourage me!
Now all the praying and planning I've been doing for so long will be put to the test, but I've been studying and intend on passing with flying colors! Game on. God is love.
