just yet

October came and went.

As soon as I wrote my last blog it felt like time slowed down,

a lot.

The days seemed longer and the weather is definitely colder.

Zach and I are moving back to Texas in December and for anyone who has made a big move, you know there are so many mixed emotions that come with that.

Excitement for the new home and sadness for the one you're leaving behind. I am not dealing with those emotions just yet.

I know that in the coming weeks there will be both kinds of tears but October wasn't for that. Like I said, the fall isn't for looking back or looking ahead, it's for right now. And today I spent my time watching over kids that I have come to absolutely adore, having dinner with my husband and thinking I should probably shave my legs soon.

I haven't written this month because I really wasn't pushing myself to thoughts much deeper than that. And for a short time, that's alright with me.

Limbo is the word that came to my mind a lot in the last month. Functioning during this in between time of anticipating a move and enjoying the last memories of this home have been sweet and confusing.

In one month, when we move I will let all of these emotions come over me and I'm sure, will throw them up here,

but until then I am content.

Last night, we were sitting in our little apartment eating dinner and I was overwhelmed with the feeling of contentment.

Realizing that big life changes are welcome when you have, so much grace from God and so much love for the person you are facing all of it with.
