Sometimes in life you have to trust…and I am NOT good at that. Not that I don’t “trust” my husband, but right now it’s hard to just let go of all control and trust that he knows, loves and supports our family so of course he wont let anything bad happen to us. Like going broke and being homeless!
In just over 2 weeks, we are leaving our job, leaving our home and moving the family 318 miles south. Yes, I’ve google mapped this place a MILLION times to see how far I would have to drive to come back! I currently live 45 minutes away from my family, I am so close to some of the best friends I have had in my life, and most importantly my kids have cousins to play with every Sunday during family dinner. This will be such a hard adjustment not being down the road from everyone we love.
I am a planner. Like if I don’t know what is going to happen in a year…I kinda freak out. Before getting stuff done, I like to have a checklist (or two) and a plan on how to get it done. With moving I have had a couple dozen panic attacks already, I have said a million silent prayers and I have had to tell myself to just let go. Let go of the anxiety of having something new. Let go of not knowing what life is going to be like in a month. Let go of the fear that things just wont work out. I have needed to put all my trust in my amazing husband, that he knows what he’s doing….even if he may not be 100% sure himself yet!
Oh, and did I mention that I’ve never even seen the new house in person? So who knows what is actually going to fit into the rooms, how it’s going to be arranged, or if we’ll end up sleeping on the floor a while until it gets figured out.
I may end up in a Dr Pepper coma for 3 weeks to survive this….we”ll see!
Wishing you all the best in your move! I am a planner too and I get really freaked out and have panic attacks if I don’t know what’s going on next.. Since my husband moves all around for his job it’s been hard to say the least. Definitely a challenge not knowing where we will be next. But I trust The Lord and I look for the light at the end of the tunnel and know that we will be moving to buy a house where we want in a year.. This has been going on for tree years.. So I just count down and make the most!! Good luck!
Thanks so much Candice, and good luck to you guys in getting a house soon!!!!
Welcome to the south 🙂 I saw you on the southern utah bloggers group on facebook.
My husband moved us down here 7 years ago from “up north” (orem). We left family, good friends and cousins. It was really not easy. I am also a planner and hate not knowing what exactly is going to go on in our life. We love it here and although it has been hard without family close by we visit A LOT, and have met amazing people and had some amazing experiences. We know it’s where we are supposed to be, even thought it is super hard. Good luck with everything, and maybe I will meet you in person one day at one of these blogger group things!
Yay, Kendra I am so excited to be down there. Less than 2 weeks. I’m so glad there are so many awesome bloggers down there to keep me busy getting to know them all! Can’t wait to “meet” you!
