Great News!!!

So this post is going to seem a bit ironic considering the last post. But........

WE'RE MOVING HOME!!!!!!

It's true! We are so excited and I reiterate the WE!! I know that I have always been the one to want to move back but Derek has finally jumped onto my boat! :) After much thinking and praying the decision was made. D will be transfering with PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to the Peoria office December 1st so we still have 3 1/2 mths here.

It just makes me think about the "plans" that I made for my life. I always thought I would grow up, get a job (although I could definately give that up now! :)) , get married, have babies, and just be happy. However, I ALWAYS thought that all of these things would be done in central IL near my family. I never wanted nor dreamed of moving away. But Derek wanted to. And I married him. So, I had to. Right? But more than that, God changed my "plans" and expectations to His plan. His plan was for us to move here to San Jose, CA, 2000 miles away from anyone and everyone we know. And it was/is hard. That may sound trite but unless you've done it, don't knock it! :) But also, it's been great. Great for us, our marriage, our time. We both feel that even though we moved 7 mths after getting married, THIS is where we started our life together. And D always thought that he would want to be in Cali for (if he had his way) 5-10 yrs. But God changed his plans and his heart. God really worked in his heart and now D is just as excited to move as me.

I'm not SUPER!! excited about moving home!!!!! Cause I AM!!! I can't wait! Hopefully I'll see you in December!!
