Next.

Next step in life-- moving. We've been praying for a way for God to bless us... 'move us up' if you will.... and it looks like our prayers have been answered. Christian just recently got a promotion at his work which will be moving us to Tucson, AZ. New location, new home, new people... it's all exciting but it's also bringing up tension at the same time. It will be 2 hours away from my family, the farthest away from them I've ever lived. And especially with the baby coming in November, this move isn't the best idea to grammy and papa. Nevertheless, I have faith in God and I know that if He left this door open for us to walk through and made that promotion happen, He did it for a reason and He won't let us down. So even if some people close to my heart get hurt in the process of us moving even farther away, I still somehow know that we're doing the right thing for this particular time in our lives. I'm a grown woman now with a family of my own, and it's time that we base our decisions off of what's best for OUR family, and not everyone else and what they prefer. I mean come on, it's Tucson, not Philadelphia right???
..... Anyways, no matter how much strife we get for doing this, we both feel that this is what God wants for us, and we're not going to change our minds. Christian is so happy about his managerial promotion, and I'm happy for him too. We're moving there by the 28th of June, so we've visited Tucson a couple times so far, and for the most part we both really like what we see. We're looking at some really nice and big apartments in Northern Tucson, which is a beautiful area of town. Mount Lemon is gorgeous from there, and the city has SO MUCH to offer. It's different than any city I've ever been to, and we both like it. We're excited to bring our child into the world there. We're excited to do road trips to visit grammy and papa whenever we're able. We're excited to welcome friends and family anytime they want to visit as well. We're excited to meet new people and do new things there. We're excited to live a life of our own. It's all going to be okay. :)

Oh, and by the way, we're at 17 weeks now. :)))
