It's tough to grow up and move away from the family and friends you've known all of your life. It's tough to "start over" and get to the point that you feel like you're where you belong.
Tom and I moved to Ventura, CA over five years ago, and I'm just now to the point that I feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be.
Yes, I do miss my family and friends. I miss the family birthday parties, the friends having babies, and all of the little things that we all get to partake in every day. But, that being said, I am married to my best friend, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere without him.
We've been married for over eight years now and I love him more than I did yesterday. It's amazing to me that he still loves me after all this time. I guess the same goes for him, he doesn't understand my love for him. Maybe that's what makes us work so well together.
Right now we're (not always) patiently waiting for him to find a full time job so we can get on with the next steps of our lives. We both want babies, but right now the timing is off. My deepest fear is that we'll wait too long and then there will be problems. I'm just hoping and praying that the Lords plan is the same as ours and everything will work out the way it's supposed to.
I hope I can keep this blog going for quite a while so our family and friends can stay updated with our (sometimes boring) lives. :)
