Remembering

I looked at Scott on April 30th and asked him if he remembered what happened a year ago that day?  He couldn't remember...

It was a Friday and we were sitting at a table selling our house.  Such a bittersweet day.  Knowing we were moving on to a new chapter in our lives was so very exciting yet scary and then selling our first house.  The house we worked hard to purchase and were looking forward to living in for years and starting a family in.

After living in Charleston for a year now I can 90% say it was the right move for us.  Yes, we had to take a few steps backwards.  Yes, there were a lot of tears along the way.  Yes, there were a lot of "are we sure this is the right thing" and "things happen for a reason".  There were even a few "lets throw in the towel and move back to Orlando". 

One year later though we love it here and call Charleston home :)  It is such a beautiful city with character, history, and so much going on.

We took some time to look back and remember the last year and realize where we are now from our experience.  It really made us appreciate what we have and where we are going in life.  It also made us realize the goals we have can be accomplished anywhere as long as we keep working towards them.  They may not happen in the time frame we originally wanted but they can still be accomplished!

We both now have stable jobs that we like.  We live 15 minutes from the beach (which we LOVE).  We don't freeze in the winter.  Life is good :)

That 10% that I'm not sure about....the whole hurricane thing makes me a little uneasy and we haven't lived through one of those yet.  Also, people in the south are different and its taking some getting use to - its not a bad thing its just different.
