New Adventure of Life

Well James and I have 2 months left to go until we leave for Alaska. God has  been really good to us lately. James was talking to his Uncle Bill who we will living with. He was telling James that since we have applied with the mission organization we should be  able to to stay at the missionary house in Anchorage until Uncle Bill flies in with the plane. Bill will be able to fly us over to aniak  for free. So pretty much once we get there the only expense that we will have is for our food and whatever shopping that we need to do. I'm really excited to be moving, but as it gets closer I start to freak out some for the fact that i am leaving my family and my home town. I grew up in the same house for 20 years. I have lived in my small town/ city my whole life. when i was in college my parents moved across town and i stay in that house for a year. I have to say I will miss this small town in Michigan, but i can't wait to see the new village that waits for me in Alaska.   

So I have an addiction to Easter bunnies, milk chocolate and hollow Easter bunnies. My husband finds it sometimes annoying since whenever I go to the store I buy a bunny if not more. I'm not sure what I'll do once Easter is over. I guess I will have to find some other chocolate to eat. I don't know why I have this addiction, but every year as soon as the Easter candy is out I look for my chocolate bunnies.  I don't believe in the Easter bunny. And I know why we celebrate this Holiday. Some people call it Easter and others call it Resurrection Sunday. I believe that Jesus came to earth to die on a cross to save us from our sins and that he rose again the third day. I may call it Easter, but at the same time it is still Resurrection Sunday to me.    

The past couple weeks I have been really slacking on packing up everything for my move to AK. I realize that I have more stuff then i thought. I don't know what I'm going to to with a lot of it. Mail it to ourselves, store it, or give it to somebody. I thought James and I had a lot of it taken care, but as we start grabbing stuff to put in our bedroom so we can pack it we find out we have more then when we first thought.  My mother in law has been really helpful by letting us store all they stuff we won't need right away in her garage. We have some totes that need to mail, but we will probably wait until sometime in may to do that.   I cannot wait until we get all of our packing done it will be a great burden off of us.  Well I should probably end so I can get to some cleaning and packing. :/

Today(4-10-11) was a real eye opener for me. It dawned on me that I will be moving all the way to Alaska.  I'll be leaving me family in Michigan and my in-laws in Illinois. My husband James is very excited to be moving, he sometimes wishes we are there now. I am excited to be starting this new chapter and adventure with my husband, i'm also kinda scared and nervous. Today we cooked breakfast for the teens in our youth group and i realize that it was our last breakfast with them. We are coming to an end of our time here in MI, but that also means we are closer to the new time in AK. People who know me can see right through me when they ask me how are you doing with this getting ready to move. My dad asked me yesterday and i'm not gonna lie i started to get tears in my eyes because i realize its becoming more true every day how much closer it is for me to be gone.James and I fly out of chicago at the end of june to start our new life together.
