Happy Friday

This week has been a rough one for me. I moved far away from my family and I hit a few big bumps along the way. This certainly hasn't been the fairy tale that I've been expecting. But I made the decision that I wasn't going to let anything get me down.

In truth, situations are only as bad as you make them out to be. Yes, my circumstances aren't ideal right now but they could be a hell of a lot worse. I have a lot to be thankful for and one day, I'll look back on this experience and be so proud that Kristopher and I made it through it.

So I thought I'd share the things that have made me happy through this tough time in order to put things into perspective.

• The scenery around here is gorgeous. I'm surrounded by rivers, creeks and mountains. Those are things that I definitely didn't have back in Florida.
• Kris made a friend that has been able to give us help that we didn't even know that we needed.
• One of our biggest problems was solved quickly and efficiently.
• We signed a lease on an apartment! We officially have our first place together as a married couple!
• I've talked to my family every day since we left. Thank goodness for technology or I'd be going crazy.
• I'm not going through any of this alone. Kristopher and I are there for each other.

As long as you can find some good in any bad situation, you can get through it. We're not going to focus on the bad, we're going to focus on the good. The hard part is almost over anyway.
