Hello one and all!! Since my last post, having Internet connection has been sort of in and out. SO many things have been happening. The question is where to start??
Well, as you all know, Matthew has been accepted to vet school in St. George's, Grenada, West Indies. About four days before receiving his acceptance letter, we also found out that we will be first time parents come December. To say that our life is changing drastically would be an understatement. If I think back on where I was five years ago, that person would never believe that I would be here.
Getting pregnant was definitely NOT in MY plans at least for another three-five years. However, I think God knew MY plans and just laughed at me. He sure has a sense of humor doesn't he!! When we got married (which, might I remind you, was only a mere 8 months ago), people said to "wait till you are ready" to have kids. My question is, WHEN IS ANYONE "READY" TO HAVE A CHILD?!?! Sure, you can plan. You can read every getting ready book. You can track your hormones. Blah blah blah. But seriously, is anyone ever really READY to have a kid?? Don't get me wrong, I am totally excited about being a mom. Yes, I'm sure my world is going to turn upside down with everything going on (you know, moving out of the country and all) but the fact that we both are in this together, that we both are stepping up to the plate, I feel gives us a better perspective of this "being ready" idea.
Towards the middle of May, we had to begin the process of moving. Now, moving to Grenada was not going to be a one-time-move-deal. In order to save money before we get there, we needed to not have a rent payment. Therefore, we moved from our house in Wilmington to a condo at Carolina Beach for our last week living in Wilmington. After that, we moved from the condo to Matt's moms house in Emerald Isle. We will be here until July 27 when we fly to Grenada. Once arriving in Grenada, we will stay in a hotel. After eight days of being there, we will FINALLY be in our rental house. Ladies and gentlemen, if you lost count of how many times I will be packing and unpacking a bag at a new place, that is a total of FOUR times within a matter of three months.
I don't want to make this post very long. I wanted to give an update on where we were. The emotions circling all this stuff is enough to create another post. So!! Stay tuned. I'm sure to give you some more of my thoughts. :)
A hui kaua.......
