Turn for the better

Just for those of you who have not yet heard it from me, these last few weeks have been the hardest I have ever gone through. We thought we have everything figured out but so quickly we realized we did not. Our bags were packed for Boulder but somehow things just weren't making sense. It happened in Gulf Shores. After having another lengthy discussion with Jared regarding what we wanted, we decided to reevaluate our plans.

Now here I am, sitting ourside of CC's coffee in Baton Rouge, LA, running on the macs reserve battery power, to let you know - we have moved to Baton Rouge. We have a house, not just a home but a real house. It has 3 bedrooms and the biggest laundry room I have ever seen. We have both cars (to which only one is running) and all of our belongings in one place, all of them. For those of you who know Jared and I well, this is the biggest sigh of relief.

I loved being in Houston but we never had our own place. For the last 9 months my husband and I have slept on seperate beds, been in seperate states, and worked any and random jobs. I sometimes miss driving to work every morning with my dad and all the familiar faces I saw at the office. However, I do not miss living in a 8 by 10 bedroom and only talking to my husband for 20 minutes via the cell phone every night.

Jared is enrolled at LSU, we got all his student loan paper work taken care of, we have moved, and I have about 12 job possibilities. For some reason, even though everything is so new, this feels like home. It feels perfect.

Sorry for not updating recently. There have been daily changes and I was waiting for things to make a little more sense. Good news is we have a room dedicated to our guests now, so come on, don't be shy, we know you want to visit.
