Another Move

Buenos Dias everyone and Happy Spring!

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." ||Job 12:7-10||

      I'm sorry I haven't been active lately there has been a lot going on. In the course of 1 1/2 years I've now lived in three different places, our most recent just happening this week to North Carolina. I'm not going to lie it's beautiful here and while I miss my friends back in my last town and the one before that I truly believe God has a plan. 
       People are a lot nicer in the south then up north. Everyone waves to you here or shoots you a smile. Up north people put their heads down and walk, always busy. You will always have your busy bodies, that's what makes the world go round, but here everyone seems to step back a bit taking time to acknowledge your existence and sometimes even strike up a conversation with you. It amazes me how different the world is a few states away. Aside from the South's pretty souls and southern hospitality the nature provided at my current house is breathtaking. We have trees over 200 feet tall and our own pond (that came with complimentary ducks ;). Dogwood petals and pine cones are all over the place. the sounds of locust and birds and crickets and squirrels all come together to form this kind of calming symphony that helps clear my mind.

The Move



 I have to say that I'm thankful for not being incorporated in a military family because this one move is enough. I was born in North Carolina and since then have moved 5 times not including the most recent one I've gone through making it six. However I only vaguely remember living in any other location then my last.



We moved from one state to another with this last move and it's been rough. Don't get me wrong I've made new friends and found some benefits to moving, but I won't sugar coat the fact that I miss my friends that I've grown up with and the house I grew up in. My favorite cat is buried in the yard of that house, and my sister's hand print is cemented in next to mine in the backyard as well. I've had a lot of parties and fun times in that house and I still find myself sad from time to time that we had to leave the house and so many wonderful people behind.




 I'm happy that I was able to have a party with the whole posy before I moved!!!


 I'm looking at the bright side though, the sunsets are beautiful, visits from family members are nice (except for the bitter sweet goodbyes of course), and I've met some pretty cool new friends :)
