Nomads

Well, this is going to be a very short mainly picture post. We arrived in Nashville on Friday night at 2AM after the movers were 4 hours late. Here are before and after pics of our humble abode...

The Finale

Well, it's finally here. It's official - we're moving out tomorrow morning. It's very hard for me to not be overly sentimental. However, I can say that I am very sad to be leaving North Carolina but am very excited to see what God has in store for Hubby and I in NYC. It's going to be a fun adventure!

North Carolina will always hold a very special place in my heart. In a way, I feel like I grew up here. I obviously became more independent in college but NC was where I learned how to live on my own and become a bit more responsible. I moved to Charlotte after graduating from Auburn not knowing anyone and it became the city where I met Hubby! There were multiple times when I tried to leave the wonderful young southern city but obviously God had different plans for me. I also met some of my greatest friends. When Hubby and I moved away to small town Chapel Hill, I was completely upset to leave the place that I grew to love but then after a few months living in this new town I too, grew to love it. I again met some of my greatest life-long friends and Hubby and I grew together in ways that never would have happened if we stayed in Charlotte. It again was an answer to prayer that I was unaware of at the time. We're now moving to NYC with some of our great friends we met here in this small town. (We also spent last night with them and had more fun than we though possible.)

So overall, we will miss North Carolina tremendously! NC - you have the best weather and seasons! It's one of the few places where you can live in one city and be 2 hours from the ocean as well as the gorgeous mountains. But of course, this is the first journey of our lives and it has to come to an end. However, the second journey is quickly approaching and its in the big city!! I can't wait to begin blogging from NYC - but you'll have to wait until July because the month of June Hubby and I are nomads traveling cross country. Our first stop - Nashville! See you back on Monday! Tomorrow we're moving and driving to the state of TN.

Goodbye NC - you'll be greatly missed!!!!!! Thank you for so many wonderfully fun memories!

News! News!

Oh my, where to start??? Well my friends its time to share our exciting news... WE'RE MOVING TO NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to all that were expecting we were pregnant, maybe next time. :) However, we couldn't be more excited! This has been such a long and crazy process. It started back in September, yes September! We have been searching for a job everywhere and anywhere since back in September. We have had interviews/leads from all over the map. We've watched most of our business school friends get wonderful jobs throughout the process leaving us wondering what in the world God had in store for us. NYC was not even on our radar until a week ago. The only place that was even hiring was Cleveland, Ohio. I've never even stepped foot in Ohio! Not to mention how extremely far away it is from both of our families. But even so we were okay going there if that was where we were led. However, a week ago we got a call that the ideal job had opened up in NYC and they asked if Hubby wanted to interview! We were nervous and totally shocked. For those of you who don't know, I have ALWAYS wanted to live in NYC. I actually turned down a job around 4 years ago in NYC to date and pursue Hubby. We then were going to go there for after we got married but ended up at UNC Chapel Hill. Now out of the blue when we were actually looking elsewhere God puts this in our direction! Needless to say, we didn't even have to think about whether we wanted to accept or not, it was absolutely where we were suppose to be!!!!! We are so so so excited about this next part of our life together and can't even imagine how different it will look than our first couple years of marriage BUT it will be great and such an adventure! I can't wait to begin!! Even though we'll be far from family and friends it's a direct flight from basically anywhere in the US. So come visit!!!! (We also already have some great friends up in NYC to show us around!)

If anyone has any tips they'd like to share, we're all ears. We're going up in a week to look at apartments!

Since I've been getting calls all day wondering if I'm preggers, I promise next time I say we have exciting news it will be about a baby. haha However, it will be a while...
