I am so excited to start this next chapter in our lives. Our first home. Sigh. It's been a long, hard road to get here. So much hard work and sacrifice endured over the last few years all leading up to this amazing event in our lives. After renting since I was 17 years old, and always feeling like everywhere I've lived was just a place to hold my stuff, to lay my head down at night - never feeling like any of the places I've lived was my home. Finally, we were able to work hard enough to get exactly what we've been dreaming about. Almost doesn't seem real.
Throughout my life, I have always followed my heart and what I have envisioned what happiness is. Whether it was moving all over the place, changing jobs, starting/ending relationships, having the balls to just say what I feel and do what I think is right....everything I have done since I was 11 years old has been in the pursuit of finding happiness. Deep for a little kid, I know. Sometimes it's overwhelming to think of where I've been, and where I've ended up. I am so grateful for every happy, sad, devastating, wonderful, amazing moment, and wouldn't change one minute of it if it meant I wouldn't end up in the exact same place I am in my life now.
Having said all that, I will never truly be able to express how conflicted my heart feels right now having to leave behind all of those people who have helped shape the person I am today. Just remember, Love knows NO distance. This is NOT goodbye. If you love me like I love you, we'll make it work. Just as we always have.
T-minus three days until all our stuff gets picked up. One week until we fly out. One more cardboard box away from going CrAzY.
