My tired husband, already spent from long days and longer nights at work, came home on Monday to an emotional whirlwind of a wife only to pack up evrything we owned and take it all to Colorado. Complications completely out of anyone's control threw a financial wrench into our lives, and we felt that this move would lift burdens off more than just our own shoulders. It is bittersweet, if nothing else, in the truest sense of the word.
With tear stained cheeks, we tiptoed into this sleeping valley anxious and exhausted. We've unpacked our lives in a single room that feels more like home than anywhere else we've lived together. Brandon is still there and I am only here, something that I still haven't embraced, but we're praying that this is easier.
I'm feeling strained but grateful. These imperfections that creep into our lives humble me...to the point of tears sometimes. But this is how we learn, right? And its only for a minute...for just one minute....

Sometimes things happen and we feel like it is a challenge to humble us, but then when we turn around and look back, we see that it was a perfect blessing. Because it took us somewhere that we needed to be to allow us to be much happier.
You are so, so, so right.
Hopefully I will be joining you soon, so it won't be only you there. I can't wait!!!! SDLY
Julie, I'm a little lost... help your poor sister-in-law out:) What exactly is going on? Did you move to Grand Junction with your parents? Is Brandon still in Wyoming? Why the move?
