So I'm really excited to move to Connecticut. Really I am! Its an amazing opportunity that later in life Steve and I may not be offered and may not be able to take if we don't now. The area is beautiful, the school is great, and the fact that we were both offered jobs? Priceless. So we are pumped, and we understand that blessing that is being handed to us through these positions...
But this is gonna be hard.
Most everyone we tell that we are moving is excited for us, but sad for us to leave. We feel the same way. A few times a week, I get really sad when I start thinking about having to say goodbyes to people. Yesterday, I told the family I've babysat for almost 4 years that we are moving, and that news added to the news that their neighbors are moving had the mom of the family in tears. Talk about hard for me to be excited about moving in that moment... I wanted to cry with Elena because it will be so hard to move away from the lives we've made here, and our friends and family. We hope and pray that the paths between Ohio and Madison, CT will be well traveled. It will be friends ad family visiting and falling in love with Madison like we have that will make moving seem easier and more and more worth it. By no means so I have any doubts or hesitations, I whole-heartedly believe in what God is providing for us, and know that it is right. There are amazing teachers and staff at Grove whom we have already met, and I'm sure more who we have not met yet. We will find our community, our closest friends there, and those that become like family. It won't be right away though I'm sure, and I'm trying to be okay with that. Moving to Kent for school doesn't seem like much of a move at all now!!!
Either way... I will bawl my eyes out everytime I say goodbye to someone while reminding myself that we will be back to visit very soon. I will probably cry multiple times once we get there just being an emotional girl and adjusting to everything. But I am confident that this will be good for us... Mike and Elena and my parents up and moved to new cities away from everyone they know right after they got married, and my parents especially have told us its awesome and that we should go. They are more excited to visit us in Madison than in Akron anyhow!!
Okay Madison, this isn't the last I have to say about you... but I need to get back to teaching now.
I'm happy and excited for you and Steve! Moving is hard but brings you closer to your husband than you ever thought possible. The minute you get on your uhaul, it's you and him, and it's you and him from now on. I love it! You'll meet amazing new people that will blow you away and wonder why you were even nervous to move. Blessings to you! I'm very happy for you!
