is this for real?

i am  having one of those days. i don't know if it is just from being exhausted or what, but things just seem surreal today. i look around my house at all these boxes and think, really? are we really moving far away in just 10 days. i guess it is not super far away, but it is three hours from everything we know right now. all our friends, all our kids friends, cullan's school-that he loves. i usually get excited about moves and changes. those sort of things keep life interesting  i think. however i have to admit that now, having kids, and having friends who you have known since we were all single, and they have kids. there is this desire to plant some roots and let your kids grow up with these kids. i am sure we will love living in our new home, but today i am feeling sad about leaving our home now.

I know the feeling. It was really hard for us to leave Raleigh and move to IA. But it's getting better. Hopefully you'll have a great ward with lots of people your age.

You could always move back! Sounds easier said than done, I know, but I'm sure the Lord has plans for you and your wonderful family when you move! This is why we have blogs, facebook, etc. But I do say, seeing people in person is SOOO much better than just catching up on websites.

Good luck with everything guys. I'm sure you will love your new place once you are settled!

When moving, I tried to think about all the fun new stuff that was going to happen. New place to decorate, new place to discover, new callings, new people, I hope this chapter in your life is a great one with lots of high notes! Good luck with all the packing...yuck...

You are at an overwhelming stage or packing and waiting! Like what Lisa said I hope your new church has a lot of people your family can connect with. You could always stay :)

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
