Moving.

June 13, 2011

When I mentioned it was a crazy week last week, this is one of the reasons why…
My husband accepted a job in Atlanta, and we are moving our little family from KS back to GA next month! Mixed emotions come with this move. Atlanta feels like home to us since it is where we got married and had our first child, and made many good friends….so we are excited to be back again. However, it is very difficult to leave my sister and her family:( We are very close to them and have loved having them as such a big part of our lives in the last few years.
But every chapter in life brings both trials and blessings. I am thankful for both these last few years, and looking forward to the next chapter and what it will bring!

    Have a wonderful Monday

  • how exciting! good luck as you pack up and move! moving is always a little bittersweet it seems, so hopefully you can look to the good things!

  • Wow! Your head must be spinning a little with so much going on : ) Wishing your family lots of great new adventures in GA – and good times in KS before you move.

  • All the best with moving houses and changing cities. Am sure you’ll all feel at home GA since GA is alreay familiar and you have such fond memories there. xx

  • congrats to your husband! you definitely have a lot going on. sending best wishes to you all for things to go smoothly in the move & for wonderful times ahead of you!

  • Wow, you have lots of work in front of you Anna – but moving and starting a new chapter is very exiting too. Can understand your mixed emotions and am sending lots of sunny vibes – we have to surf these waves 😉

  • Best of luck with the move and also how exciting that its to a place you both love!

  • woohoo!! conograts!! and guess what?! you’ll be closer to me. i’m in SC but my fiance and his fam live in Atlanta so i visit him often. a meet-up might be in order? 😉

    happy moving!!!

  • Congratulations on your move! It’ll be stressful, but super fun! I can’t wait to read about your adventure 🙂

  • Saying goodbye to a city you’ve become comfortable in is always tough. I just did it a few short months ago, and know full well how you feel. Just keep looking forward rather than back! It will be great fun to return to a city you have already once considered home!

    Congratulations, Anna!

  • oh, it’s definitely a good and big challenge!
    good luck with it!

    hugs,

  • Very exciting, Anna!! I understand that this is a wonderfully complex time… so many things from the past to look forward to again , but also so many things from the present you will miss having close by.

    Sending a big hug your way, and warm wishes for your future.

  • Take lots of pictures of the little ones, things have a way of going by fast while you are busy with the move & settling in! Congratulations to your sweet family!!

  • Congrats Anna!! I know that moving can be very exhausting (I’ve done it 4 times in the past 6 years!!!) but change is good and I believe it’s always for better, God always has the best for us, so don’t stress too much about it 😉

  • Wow, this is huge! I know that moving away from your sister will be hard, but hopefully there will be many amazing visits!
    This next chapter of your lives will be amazing, with so many things to look forward to.
    I’m so happy for you!

  • That’s so exciting! But understandably nerve-wracking too. Good luck with all the moving stuff. Kansas will miss you!! (I’ve lived here in KS my whole life–it would be hard for me to leave!)

  • How exciting! Moving is always bittersweet (believe me, I know!) but it always works out in the end. These types of changes are what memories are made of and there’s so much to look forward to! best of luck that your move goes smoothly xo

  • So exciting! You will love Atlanta. I know it’s a little scary but it will be a great place for you and your family. Good luck with the move lady.

  • Wow! That’s quite the move – good luck, and at the very least you are going back to somewhere familiar with great memories and great people, and now you have KS to go back to with great memories and great people 🙂

  • Best of luck with the move!

  • Moving is always a HUGE event, no matter how much you love the place you are moving to! And I would be very sad about leaving my sister, too…but sounds like it is a good move and QUICK! Holy Hannah! But I think quick moves are better anyways, no time for procrastination! (c: Congrats on the new job!

  • Good Luck Anna! I´m sure everything will work out just great! 😉
