We're Moving...Soon!!

Here soon, we'll be moving out of California. Sad, but true. Both I and my husband feel the same way about this matter, but there's nothing we could do. That's the life of a Military family! Where it sends us is where we'll go.

We'll be moving to the Midwest. That's where we'll be for the next three years. Good thing is that, Skyler and the next baby are still too young to remember this or else it would suck moving the kids from one place to another and having them start from scratch all over again. To me, that's the only thing I really don't like about this [except packing and unpacking, literally, a whole house!!], even for us. We feel sad because all of our good friends are here in California. My sister and some of our relatives are here as well. The new place we're moving to has totally nobody that we know, none at all!! John has to start from zero, too. He said he probably won't see anybody at his new workplace that he knew from his previous "jobs". I can somehow feel what he feels. It's not easy to establish trust and make people like you right away, especially when you're new to them. But, I have no doubt that he'll be just fine. One thing that I've always admired about John is, the way he associates with people around him. He can make them laugh, enjoy a great conversation with him, and he makes friends with people easily. And that means them actually liking him for just being him -- just the way he is. He doesn't even have to try. It comes out of him naturally - every time.

One thing, too that we look at this is, a plan that God already set for us. Maybe we need some changes; new place, new job, new everything! As a family, we probably need this. And we have this hope that this, too will help John's career in the Navy. Well, we all know that everything works for our good, according to His will. So, we're keeping our faith and hopes up and we're praying that no matter where He sends us, He'll always be there to help and guide us.

There's just so many things to think about right now and I know how stressed out my husband is already. He's the main one that would really be in charge on almost everything because there's only so much I can do. With me being pregnant and having to take care of a baby is already tough. I just hope I can do more to help. But right now, we just want to take it one step at a time. Worrying can't do us any good. It will only make things harder for us. We know that God will provide our needs when the time comes and He will help us out. We just want to enjoy our last months here in California and let tomorrow worry on its own. We have so many plans before we leave and there are still a lot of places I want us to go to. I pray that we'll get to accomplish these things before we run out of time. Three years in a place that can get soooooo cold during winter is something I am so not looking forward to!! I love California! We both do. And if only we could choose where to go, we'd still choose to stay here. This is where we want our kids to grow up and go to school. It's just such a beautiful place to live in. But, like what I mentioned earlier, maybe we need a little change. So, with broken hearts, we'll embrace this change and we'll see where it leads us.
