we decided to take a job just outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
+ we're driving across the country with all we carry in our little car this wednesday i'm so proud of him. he is a wonderful husband, provider, friend, advocate, and will be an amazing father. this position feels right for the next step + we are thrilled to be close to his side of the family for however long this chapter in our lives will last. and with being a short few hours to new york, DC, maryland and the other wonders of the east coast, i can't wait to spend some real time soaking it all in.
one night last week matt and i were sitting on the back porch swing as the sun went down, just cuddling and talking. looking across our backyard and the valley below, i kept seeing flashbacks of night games growing up, and this wonderful valley + the people in it that have made me who i am.
i got kind of emotional.
i swear every new chapter in life makes it harder to leave it and move on to the next. but i guess it's because your love for life deepens, along with your experience and memories.
i think my heart keeps digging roots that make it more sensitive to change.
talking to matt always helps. we talked about how similar it is to the plan of salvation. how 'hard' death is, even though it is a beautiful part of the plan.
D&C 42:45-46 "Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die...and it shall come to pass that those that die in me shall not taste of death, for it shall be sweet unto them."
if heavenly father knows the plan, why on earth would he tell us to weep over a tiny thing called death? i think it's because he understands. if we're living right, change is hard.
it means our hearts are working, they're invested in something.
change is hard, but change is sweet. change always brings a better future than the past has been, it's just a struggle to have the faith to remember that at times.
i've come to believe that one of the greatest blessings of marriage is never being alone.
changing together, growing together.
going through every new chapter, twist and turn of life together. it is the most fulfilling relationship i've ever had. i have complete confidence in matt, our future, and in good things to come.
so bring on the moving boxes.
marriage adventure chapter 2, here we come. :)
