One month from today

Steve & I will be getting the keys to our apartment in Alexandria, VA.
(The apartment that I still haven't seen...)

We are super excited to start the next chapter of our lives,
but I'd be lying if I said we aren't nervous.

We are nervous to drive across country.
We are nervous to pay a rent that is over twice what we pay now.
(and that's one of the cheapest places we found!)
We are nervous to learn our way around a much bigger city.
We are nervous to find jobs — not only jobs, but good jobs.

It's all we have been talking about lately...
We've been talking about what's going to change when we move,
what's going to stay the same,
trying to predict what life is going to be like in this next chapter of our marriage.

Although we have no idea what is going to happen when we move,
we do know one thing,
and that is that no matter what happens we have each other,
and we have a Heavenly Father that loves us and is looking out for us.

And on days like today,
we have to keep reminding each other of that.

Favorite photo taken on the trip -
I hope these taxi drivers will help me jump my car when
I leave my headlights on. Because I always do.
