Houston Bound

I "started" this blog in January, but have not been very faithful to update.... I am hopeful that as we embark on this next phase in our life, I will be able to document our journey here.

The past few days have been an emotional journey in itself. I have worked in my office for over two years, and due to the nature of our job, you depend on your co-workers to cope with and continue doing the important work that we do. This family has meant so much to me these past two years and I know that God placed me there for a reason! I am so thankful to all of my CPS family who have been such an important part of my life and personal growth through the past two years. I am prayerful that just as God provided me with such a wonderful support system and family in Dallas, he will do so in Houston as well!

Today, my mom came over and helped me pack up some of our stuff. We got a lot of stuff done and packed. My emotions though, just like yesterday, are on overload. I have lived in Houston before, but there was a time frame (four months) before my return home. I am very close to my family, and when I think of all the events that could occur in the next three years, I become saddened that I will not be right in the middle of it all. I am so thankful to my family for how we were brought up in making family a priority! But there again it creates a jumble of emotions all at the same time. I am sad to leave my family and have never been this far from them, I am excited to actually be able to see my husband every day aside from when he wakes me up when he gets home from work, I am excited to be able to have dinner together every day, I am excited to grow in my ability and confidence at work, and am hopeful that God will place all new wonderful people in our lives that will bless us just as those we have in Dallas.

As I prepare to leave for Houston tomorrow, I am prayful that God will bless me this week as it has been continually evident that Houston is where He has us to be!!!
