Last year, I spent the year not meeting people and making friends "because one we have the baby, those friendships will become obsolete as we'll only want to hang out with people who have babies." I don't know what I was thinking, but because of it, I missed out on a whole year of meeting some pretty awesome people. You never know what's going to happen, so do whatever is going to make you and Garth smile the most :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784657544280788901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481968918373095393.post-21987578166765345412010-10-26T14:23:34.639-07:002010-10-26T14:23:34.639-07:00I think it's another sign that you are moving ...I think it's another sign that you are moving in the right direction!!!

How it's so easy to always live looking ahead and never really in the here and now. The man being interviewed suggested even if you're in a church for only a few weeks, get involved! He said a woman at his church is there for only 8 weeks and she has made such a difference! That could be you!Lucky in Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153263619520465219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481968918373095393.post-46855715260725983942010-10-21T15:29:29.196-07:002010-10-21T15:29:29.196-07:00I say go for it and get involved!

We are super anxious to get involved in church, but are thinking that when we move it may be a bit too far away to be able to still attend... although we could end up living closer, we may not.

It's perfectly natural, and I think you've got the right outlook...enjoy what you've got while you've got it!<br /><br />I am excited for you to be able to start somewhere fresh and new. Just last weekend I was thinking about this. Our house has been for sale for some time now. I have a feeling it's going to be a WHILE before it sells. While we just want to move and get out, probably stay local, a part of me is itching so badly to start somewhere NEW. (I'm like you, always looking forward to things, but I'm also always wanting fresh and new. I think it's exciting.) I was looking at houses in another STATE last weekend - something I don't even know if I could handle, considering we turned a house down a few months ago because it was 40 minutes from my parents.<br /><br />So...I'm excited for you that you get to do that. God has an amazing plan for you, and wherever He puts you, it'll be right and good! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481968918373095393.post-71004439859036259922010-10-21T10:03:29.983-07:002010-10-21T10:03:29.983-07:00I struggle with the same thoughts.

Right now I'm looking forward to the end of my husband's deployment, but I don't want to take this time with my family for granted. I've started Project 365, where you take a picture every day for a year. I feel like it helps me slow down and realize every day is special. Good luck on the house search.Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246620747177495949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481968918373095393.post-41332546608494165742010-10-21T09:37:32.833-07:002010-10-21T09:37:32.833-07:00Sounds like you have a great and healthy attitude ...Sounds like you have a great and healthy attitude about it all!!!!

In the meantime you could be building friendships with people who have the same values as you. And, that's worth it by itself.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510971989522522535noreply@blogger.com
