It's Scary

Yesterday, Kris told me that we finally have a moving date! We're going to pack up our stuff and move thousands of miles away from our home state to our new home. Finally.  

I've been waiting 11 months to move and it's so surreal that it's finally almost over. But even though it's exciting and what I've been waiting for, it's also extremely scary. We're going to be thousands of miles from our families, our friends and the only home that we've ever known. We have to start over, meet new people, learn a whole new state. 

The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I won't be able to call my parents to help me whenever I have a problem. I won't live in my small town anymore, where everyone knows everything about everybody. I won't be living in an area where it's 100 degrees all year. Kris and I will be getting on a plane and leaving everything behind.

I know that this is a necessary step and that it's going to be fun. But it's crazy that it's finally all happening and I'm starting to feel very overwhelmed because I'll truly be leaving the nest. 

As much as I've complained about how much I wanted to leave this state, I'm really going to miss it. It's my comfort zone, my home. I'm truly going to miss it when it's gone and only a memory.
