2012 already? is it just me or did 2011 kind of fly by? the last three years since we've been in this house have kind of blurred together and things that happened 3 years ago feel like they just happened yesterday. but i'm grateful for the new year. it always brings a feeling of refreshment and renewal even though it's such a simple thing.
we're officially on our countdown to move, and now that the holidays are over i'm starting to get antsy. i think paul is as well. while there is still a lot of uncertainty and lingering questions, the promise of a new adventure and blessings is a strong motivator. i'm glad we have 4 or 5 more weeks to get packed and prepared, but i know the time will go by quickly.
while our circumstances haven't changed much, i'm super grateful that we haven't had to suffer through many of the things i've seen people around me going through. our finances are always a concern, but we haven't had to deal with much on top of that really. relatively speaking, we've had it easy i think, so i guess i'm grateful that i lack the spiritual strength to be tried by more than one major thing at a time. i've had a happy, healthy family, and all of our needs have always been met, and sometimes even our simple wants.
i can't wait to move on and share our new adventure with everyone. i don't know what's waiting for us up in oregon, but somehow i think it is about far, far more than just a job. wish us luck!
