After two years of wondering, pondering, meditating, praying, and fasting about where our family would end up, we finally know! We went back and forth between Houston, Oregon, Washington, San Antonio, Arizona, and Georgia. And Georgia state it is! My sister lives in Georgia and Mike's sister lives in the Florida panhandle so we will be closer to two siblings. That will be very nice especially since we haven't been close to family for over four years. It will be such a treat.
When I think about uprooting our family, I get a little panicked, but then I remember that everything will be ok! Like my sister said, "We can do hard things!" The moving process is hard!
We have absolutely loved our life in Texas! We love the people we have come in contact with and it makes us so sad to think we won't be with them the rest of our lives! The only comfort I get in leaving friends behind is that they will eventually leave the city also. I just pray we do a good job in keeping in touch. I want to see their children grow up! I want to see what life brings them! I want to travel through life with our best friends.
We will be moving some time late October. That will come quick! I will enjoy the last month we live in this Texas city. I will move away with Texas pride!
