Just a quick bedtime post to say I'm really grateful for fresh starts, which are in rich supply for me right now. I moved a bunch of stuff up to Kentucky and saw the beautiful little home Chad and I will be living in, and we basked in being together and enjoying our last visit before the wedding.
I guess I'm just really happy about moving into a new phase of my life, being done with grad school (PLEASE can I be done revising my thesis?!), and thinking about who I want to be. I love the opportunity I have right now to think about who I have been in Auburn--in the branch, in my calling(s), at school, with my roommates, as a
person, really--and to decide who I want to be in my new city. What kind of wife/Church
member/citizen/therapist/
person will I be?
Speaking of fresh starts, I was feeling really proud of myself today for actually improving on something I've struggled with. I realized that Christ's Atonement offers us lots of 'fresh starts,' and I'm grateful for that. Starting over--whether it be moving to a new city, getting married, or just improving at something and forgetting past mistakes--it all just feels like such a blessing right now.
Oh, and um...only 26 days!! Good heavens.
Here are some trip pictures.

I love it! Plus, you have a table already? Cherish that. We didn't have a table for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHehe...yeah, Chad had the table already. It's weird marrying someone who hasn't lived in furnished Provo apartments for the past decade.
