This move is bittersweet for me.
I have a tendency to have mixed emotions whenever anything big happens in my life. I don't know if it's lack of confidence, my lack of experience, or being a woman. It's probably a little of all three but what it really boils down to is a lack of faith honestly.
I know that big decisions and big change help us to grow and that they're part of life. We're given experiences to become more of the person that we're meant to be. I also know that if we put our trust in Heavenly Father that he helps us grow from any experience whether you make the right decision or not.
I know that there's a plan for me. (and everyone else) Sometimes it's hard for me to understand what is supposed to come of things but I know that my life is in good hands and that he knows what he's doing.
I keep having to remind myself that things happen for a reason though and that they're given to me to learn from them and become better, brighter and more righteous. Sometimes how we thought our life would go isn't how the Lord needs our life to go. So we need to be humble and mindful enough to follow his plan.
Moving is going to be hard for me. I've never lived away from NY and never away from all my family. But I know that it's going to make me a stronger person, make our marriage stronger and help me to learn things that I wouldn't learn being here. So I'm going to stay open minded and accepting in the next few months to transition to this new life of mine.
6 days until Ross leaves now. This time next week he'll be in South Carolina. Most likely bald and crying on the inside. Or maybe on the outside, who knows.
All joking aside. He's going to do great. I admire Ross' determination in everything. He isn't a quitter and he's going to be a great asset to the Army.
