It has been 1 year since I left my home in Missouri and began my treck to Virginia. This was my 19the move (give or take a move) and it was by far my most important. This move felt so perminant. I was moving to Virginia to get married. Today I have been reflecting on the days leading up to my move. I cannot say I was nervous... but I was anxious. There were so many things I assumed, but a few things I knew for sure. I knew I was moving 850 miles away from my family. I knew I was once again starting over and the only person I had at the end of the day was Paul. I knew I did not have a job and by the time my U-Haul pulled into Palmyra, Va I had apox $100 to my name. I knew I would be spending a lot of time alone since Paul would be back to work and working a ton after the wedding.
I have loved being in Virginia since the moment I crossing the state line July 5, 2010. The state is beautiful and the people here are very friendly. It has a Southern feel that the Midwest is lacking.
My mom and sister were here from Missouri for the past week (That's another Blog!) and having my mom here made me realize how grown up I am starting to feel. I think in some ways, Virginia have brough the "adult" out in me. My life is so stable here. Paul and I both work, we go grocery shopping, he sits down at the start of every month to pay the bills, I cook most of our meals and we spend most of our free time at home. We have such a simple life here. It's a wonderful feeling to have my family here and not feel like the child and have my mom do everything.
Next Saturday is Paul and I's 1 Year Anniversary and I am very excited to celebrate that day with him.
