Have your way

We made it!!  This is our first night in our new home.  It is almost 2am now and while everyone else is sleeping soundly I am wi____de awake. ;)  (emphasis)  It is still snowing outside and earlier they were blowing all the snow off our walk ways with a leaf blower.... strangest thing.  This morning I awoke in a haze of confusing emotions. I am missing my family so much I wanted to just run home but I feel the call to go forth on our adventure with an open heart and mind.  We were crossing the state line into kentucky at the same moment I read my facebook comment mama left me this morning and I lost composure for a moment.  As the tears flooded my eyes I was gently reminded that God is leading us on this adventure and I just thought to myself, "I trust you God with where I am and believe that you will have your way."  I was comforted by His spirit and a few Brit Nicole songs for the duration of the drive.  I worried some about the condition of the apartment we were going to be moving in to but after a friendly slap on the cheek via text message from my bestie, Laura Maggio, I regained my focus.  Our apartment turned out to be wonderful, we are very happy with it and hope to spend all three years here while Louden is in school.  Mostly because we really don't want to move all this stuff again, haha.  I'm only half kidding but seriously moving is rough.  We got everything unloaded from the horse trailor and I began my "nesting" as Louden calls it, I loved every minute of it.  Malachi is adjusting well to our new home! He did great during the car ride too, I was so proud.  Tomorrow Dippy and Mr. Ross will be heading back to Natchitoches early in the morning, I am so thankful they help us.  I really don't know how else we would have made it.  Micah is staying with us another 6 days though! My job interview is this coming Tuesday and I am so nervous.  Hopeful but nervous excitement is more overwhelming right now.  I am hoping to skype with mom soon and walk the computer around the apartment so she can see!  It is a crazy feeling to go from being surrounded by friends and family to being new to a big city and not knowing a soul here... well except Louden of coarse.  I am so blessed to have him as a husband, he is amazing in so many ways.  He stopped me today as we were unloading the trailor and told me this weather suits me... ? I wasn't sure what he meant so I asked and he said I was just so beautiful and my face just had a glow about it here.  Kinda made my day. :) haha   Any who I should stop rambling now and read a little before I fall asleep.

This is for you Keith Duck! ;)  Thanks for keeping up with me, it means a lot to me.
