This blog is an attempt to keep up to date with family and friends. I was thinking about sharing our PA experience through family with email. But I would have to include pictures, and write a lot to explain what is going on in our lives. So yes-I have caved and done the cliche thing and started blogging.
Sam and I are moving in 4 days, in reality packing everything up on 5 days, and heading out in 6 days. We're still debating on which day to say "we're outta here" so we are sticking to the 4 days until we spend our last night in our apt.
Needless to say, we are very excited. Every day I look at pictures of our new apt, and a video Sam made of it. I've been in super-planning mode for months, and especially the last few weeks. I know it's going to be very very different, but Sam and I are ready for a change, to move on from where we've been for the last few years. Provo has been full of great memories, but we're excited to move on. I've heard all about the east coast from Sam and plenty of other people, but I'm just anxious to experience it for myself now.
Everyone says it will be lonely, people won't be as friendly, and I will struggle with the change. Probably, but in all honesty I've had the same experience with Provo for several years. From Sam's time serving in the singles ward (where I was regarded as the black plague to all singledom) to all of our friends moving within months that we become friends; it's been lonely here. Granted we have loved the opportunity to hang out with my sister in Lehi, and watch my favorite niece grow. However we haven't hung out with almost anybody except family in a long long time. So it'll be exciting being a part of a community that has so much to offer, and so many new things to experience. We've felt that this move was the right decision almost from the get-go.
So just a few more days! Technically 141 hours and 28 minutes.
