Ok, so we are moving. Next Friday. Unfortunately we are going in opposite directions from each other. I have been working on packing up everything while Chris has been living in Colorado with his sister and her family {soon we will all just be one big happy family :) get ready!} finishing their basement that they have so generously made into an apartment for us. He's been gone for about a month and a half and flew in yesterday it was exciting to be able to see him again after our longest time apart... ever.
Friday Chris will be heading out with little Dilly {aka Zira, big Dilly- aka Nico is already a resident of Colorado. Thank you Jensen's for taking care of her while Chris is here, we know how she gets sometimes} and officially making the move to Colorado with all of our stuff.
What will I be doing? Well I am moving back into the Wiseman house (my parents are secretly very excited about this, I know it), into my old room in fact (feels kind of weird after 5 years) I am working and things are good on that front. Yes I will eventually be moving to the Springs (Colorado Springs) to join the family just not quite yet. I just got my new job in May and I really like it and it pays the bills so it seemed to make sense to continue for a while.
Things have been a little crazy trying to get it all figured out what is going where and what is all happening. A little hectic when your life is moving a state away and you are not. But in the end this will be a great thing.
Chris is preparing to start school in the spring and we are very excited for that. It was definitely a good move to do this option even though it wasn't always the easiest decision. Life has been quite crazy the last few years but this feels like a reboot. Its unfortunate it took 5 years to get to this point but we sure have learned a lot along the way and we have SO many people to thank for where we are. So many family and friends who have given so much for us to be where we are and for that we are ever so grateful to each and everyone.
The end to this winding road we have been driving for the past year came to an end yesterday with one small piece of paper in the mail. I could hardly contain my excitement when I opened our mailbox and saw it siting right on top screaming at me, I ran across the parking lot to our apartment to open the letter dragging Zira behind me the whole way. It really does feel like we get a fresh start which is exciting and kind of exhausting but all in all we are so grateful and thankful even despite the upheaval we have had the last year. Its good to be past this. {I have contemplated a large bon fire containing all the papers I never want to look at again- it would be a pretty great fire. I have several file boxes of them}My hope is that one day all of this may make more sense.
We can't wait to start a new life in Colorado with the Jensen's we will miss our family and friends in Utah but its good to know we will always come and visit.
