Virginia, Here We Come!

It’s kind of hard to believe that two weeks from now, Sean and I are going to be moving to Virginia.

 Probably be somewhere in Tennessee stopped for the night.  It’s nice that Sean’s company is paying for the hotel stays.  It saves us from waiting a month for a refund check, especially since it’ll be 24 days until I get my first paycheck from the new job.  But, if we feel like going further, we can’t.  We’re stuck at the hotels they had to book ahead of time.  Whatever.  Just as long as by August 31, Sean and I are going to be in our new apartment.

We are so thankful for this.

I think we were starting to go stir crazy in Arkansas.  If it weren’t for Virginia, it would’ve been months from the last time I saw a mall.  I know that’s silly, but before living here, I never thought twice if I needed to run up to the mall to get something.  But here, you learned to be satisfied with fast food and crappy movie theaters with very little shopping.  Part of me still thinks if it weren’t for this, we might’ve gotten stuck in Arkansas for the rest of our life.  It would’ve been easy, and we would eventually have become very bitter.

I’m really really excited about my new job.  Part of me is kind of nervous.  It’s something completely new.  What if I don’t live up to their expectations?  What if I’m really not that great at what I’m going to do?  What if when it’s time to move up, I fail miserably at that?  What if I don’t fit in with them at all?  I know it’s silly.  And that everything will be fine, but it still a little nerve wracking.  I was at the hospital for almost two years, so it’s weird having to start all over again.

The only thing I’m not looking forward to is splitting up the trip.  I’m a make-it-one-day kind of girl.  Sean is breaking it into three days.  He’s the one driving the UHaul and pulling my car, so he gets to call the shots.  I’d just as soon get there as soon as possible.  I’m sure JD will as well.  His favorite part about moving is the boxes.  I have been attacked more times out of boxes sitting around than the past year with this cat.

 I’m just so excited.  Keep us in our prayers!
