Savannah here we come!




As many of you know by now, Drew, Kerrington, Ollie and I are moving to Savannah, Georgia. Although the time between our announcement and departure was very short, we've known this could be a possibility since the beginning of June.




We're very excited for the possibilities ahead, although the journey has been hard. I guess that's how it should be though right? I think that even though I've known that this could be a possibility since June, I have really processed deeply the impact that it will have on our lives. Since it's been official (about 2 weeks now), Drew and I have packed up the house, and started saying goodbye to friends and family. As I say goodbye, I don't think my mind is letting my heart realize that we're leaving, not on a vacation, but leaving, to go live somewhere else. I think I've also been distracted with all it takes to move. I've never moved 12 hours away before, and never have I moved with a 5 month old baby, or moved out of a house I've owned! I've never quit a job that I chose as my career, I've never held my own yard sale.... I could go on, but I think you get my point. This is all totally new to me. And I must get something stated right now. Drew has been incredible throughout this all. Without him, I would be hiding in a corner. He has pulled much of this off, and been cool, calm, and collected through most of it. I think we make a good team, and balance each other out well.




Like I said, this hasn't been easy for us, but who said it would be? We've both tried to remind each other through this that we are trying our best to follow God's will and trust Him with our lives. Sometimes that's easier said than done, especially when it seems that everything is going wrong like our house not selling, for instance. At the beginning of this journey, a friend of Drew's said to rest in Him, to have peace with the situation and if so, it will work out. Everyday we try to do that. I hope God is honored in this, I hope He is glorified and that we can rely on Him to pull us through. I know He will.




So, we leave next week. Drew leaves after the moving truck comes on Monday, and Kerrington and I fly down on Friday to meet Drew and his mom in our new apartment (which Drew is currently trying to find as I type)!




I hope to post a couple more blogs before we leave, I need to catch up on some things. With all this going on, our Internet hasn't been cooperating either. I'm lucky if I get five minutes before it goes out. I'll try my best though. Pics of the girl are coming!
