Whirlwind

That is the one word to describe my life right now...a "whirlwind".

I am getting married on Saturday. After many tears and fears of not getting the chance to marry my best friend, God answered our prayers. I get to marry the man I love.

The other big news is we are moving to Texas! Anyone have a cowboy hat and cowboy boots they want to loan me? Daniel found out almost a week ago we are being stationed at Fort Hood. Many people know of Fort Hood because of the shooting that happened some years ago.

Texas...almost 14 hours away from gool ole' Georgia. I never lived anywhere but Georgia, it will be a very big adventure for both me and Daniel, we need all the prayers we can get! I am excited and weary. I never was one of the kids that wanted so badly to get out of Georgia. It is home, always will be. But the other side of me is excited for something new. New territory I guess you would say.

The thing that has hit me is that I am leaving my very good friends behind. I know all of them will always be my friends, but it will stink knowing I can't hop in my car and go over whenever I want. I know I will make new friends and never will replace the ones I have here...but it still wears on my emotions. I don't have brothers or sisters so my friends have always fufilled those spots, and they are my blood as far as I am concerned. People usually ask well aren't you going to miss your parents? Well of course, but my parents are constant in my life...friends sometimes can't be and thats what I deal with. It isn't my fault or theirs, it just is simply life.

Everything is happening fast...but I've handled it. Suprisingly. I use to be one who hated change, but I am realizing change can be and is good. I need it.

I guess I will need to change the top of my blog this next week from Army Fiance to Army Wife, how crazy is that?!

I am excited, hopeful, and happy. It all is a whirlwind but I am in love with this crazy ride God is about to take me on! Hope Texas can handle a Georgia girl!
