A New Adventure....

Well, folks, the time is almost here! Kyle and I will be moving to Japan in a few weeks. Am I scared? Yes. Am I excited? Yes. Do I believe this is God's will? Yes. And since I am confident of the answer to my last question, I know that God will take care of us as we begin our journey to Japan.


The comfort of knowing that my family is right around the corner is one of the best feelings in the world. But since I will not have that comfort in Japan, I have been soaking it all in before we leave. Kyle and I have been trying to visit my grandparents more as well as spend any opportunity we can with my family. Everyone has been telling us that it will be good for Kyle and me to be in a place where we only have each other to depend on. And I believe this could be the best thing for us. I am excited to see how God is going to bring Kyle and me closer together.


We had movers come and pack up our express shipment yesterday. They are coming back on the 17th to pack up the rest of our items. We have already sold some of our furniture so our apartment is definitely looking a lot more empty. Thankfully, since we will not be taking a whole lot of things over, it should make the packing and moving process a little bit easier. But you know how the military is... sometimes it is hard to depend on them. I am just praying that everything arrives in Okinawa and nothing is broken or missing. But I know there is no need to worry about little details like that because I have a God that is way bigger than that!


I have had a pretty un-eventful morning. Not having a vehicle has been different! Since Kyle has sold the jeep, I have spent a lot more time in the apartment. Thankfully, I have had plenty to keep busy. But it's been funny how I think of all these places I need to go when I don't have a car! Oh well. I am excited because my one and only Rachel is coming over in a bit to hang out with me! :)
