big changes!

This new year is going to bring a lot of changes. A few very big changes. One being the new baby and the other being a move. Andy was given a great opportunity to take a job that requires us to move to Orange County, California. When he first brought it up I was all "no...nope...definitely not." Just because I really don't know much about the area except..traffic. But as time went on I realized the huge blessing this opportunity really was for us and our growing family. Initially, we planned on moving in April, but around Thanksgiving we decided that it would be best to go ahead and move in January before the baby comes. So it's been a quick transition. Something I've never been very good at is changing plans last second. I like to know what's ahead of me and have time to mentally prepare myself for what I'm about to face, and I didn't really get much prep time in this case. But I think that it's been good for me. I really need to learn to go with the flow a little bit better, and what better way to do that than to up and move your whole life to a place that you know little to nothing about with one month's notice?? I'm kinda sad to leave little old Rexburg if I'm being honest. I've truly grown to love this tiny town, and I'm grateful to have spent the last several years of my life here. It's such a unique and special place to me. I was able to attend an amazing University and meet some of the greatest people I know. I'm sad to not live just a short drive down the road from my friends and siblings. I'm also sad to leave a job that I love so much. One thing I'm not even a little bit sad to leave behind is the below zero temperatures (currently -9). So good riddance to that.
I'm excited to start new somewhere. It's always kind of a cliche but I really love the concept of new beginnings, and I'm excited to go explore this new place and make it a home for a little while. Here's to a new year and new adventures!
