You may not know the reason now (is it C? A job opportunity that may present itself?). It's hard to sometimes know what the reason is.<br /><br />I am jealous of you making such a life-changing decision. I have always, always wanted to move out of state or overseas, and, outside of 4 months spent in Orlando, FL, I have never lived anywhere else other than my midwest state. I had many years of being single when I could've made this choice, but I didn't. I stayed here. Luckily, I met a wonderful man and we married 1.5 years ago. However, I still talk about moving out of state with him. Now that we are older and getting ready to start a family, I don't know if we'll ever want to be that far away from our families.The Ramblings of a Thirtysomething Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553461322411061745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814884804272479810.post-39894629750334867812010-08-04T11:15:32.846-04:002010-08-04T11:15:32.846-04:00Isn't life funny?

And now we've bought a house...and are having a baby, and this will be the only home he or she knows. So weird.<br /><br />But I think of the friends we've made that we would've never met, our wonderful church we've found, and the opportunity we've had to live just the two of us in a place for so long and I remember to be grateful.<br /><br />I hope it gets easier for you out there. I know how much you miss your family...but maybe you'll be able to go home someday!?!Lucky in Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153263619520465219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814884804272479810.post-50190027457993876942010-08-04T09:19:08.369-04:002010-08-04T09:19:08.369-04:00Life can be so scary sometimes!

Sure, I've only been in Chicago for 3 days but I do get it. The thing is, this wasn't just about making it on your own. It is about being on your own, discovering what matters, and finding yourself. <br /><br />I do believe that in the end you are a stronger person for taking this path. And, you forgot one very important thing...<br /><br />You met ME! HA. But really, I am so glad I know you. And in case you forgot, you have an open invite to come to Chicago any time! <br /><br />I miss you! <br /><br />Love,<br /><br />DanielleDanielle Moss https://www.blogger.com/profile/15597031787730988582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814884804272479810.post-60445376166056411652010-08-03T21:47:24.334-04:002010-08-03T21:47:24.334-04:00Oh my sweet friend-

Life out west is so different - people dress different, talk different, eat different foods, etc. Oftentimes you can feel isolated and end up missing all that is familiar back home. Know that everything happens for a reason and that it's all part of a larger plan. You are meant to be where you are. Yes, things will be tough, you'll get homesick, and you'll occasionally pull out your bag of "what ifs" but keep in mind that we are never given more than we can handle! In my book, that makes folks like us pretty dang tough! :)Mrs. Janssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18125856045905142277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814884804272479810.post-86110830943824001982010-08-03T20:38:02.824-04:002010-08-03T20:38:02.824-04:00EVERYONE wonders about the choices they've mad...EVERYONE wonders about the choices they've made and the paths they've taken...
