Virginia here we come...

Who would of thought we would end up in Lynchburg, VA....NOT ME! :) I can honestly say without a doubt I know this is where God wanted us! The day we got back from our honeymoon we realized we weren't supposed to stay in California and the Lord was making it very clear that we would be headed to Virginia.
The same day we got back I got the flu! Horrible flu! Can I just tell you how thankful I was to be married and having the flu?! I remembered the previous year getting the flu, I was all alone, so sick and just laying on the couch crying! I remember praying and asking the Lord to bring me a husband who would be by my side in these times. A year later...here I was laying on the couch SICK, and my husband was laying next to me, hugging me and reading the bible to me to encourage me. FOR REAL....doesn't get much better than that! I started crying and told Hugh about my prayer the year before and how thankful I was that he was there with me. Truly a blessing.
When I went back to work two days later I talked to my boss and he asked me to stay on staff and try working remotely.  I would fly back and forth as needed and the next week was finalizing those plans. God has been so good in this process. Not only were we quickly moving across the Country but I got to keep my job with TMC which I TRULY LOVE! Blessing after blessing.
The move across Country with my best friend was so great. We had a big group of friends come and help us pack up on a Friday night and we took off around 8 PM. We drove straight through to Texas and stayed with our friends Brady and Megan Schenk. So fun to see them in their home. Then Sunday morning we left early and drove straight to TN.
 Monday morning we drove about 4 hours and got to spend the day with my sister and her family. That was fun! Then on Tuesday we made it to Lynchburg. We drove straight to our apartment (which we had never seen) and I LOVE it! We even had about 8 guys show up to help us move in! The first week was so great making a home with Hugh! We would unpack, run errands and just spent time together. It was such a great time. We've been here a few months already and I can't believe how fast the time has flown. I am so grateful for this time with Hugh and the way the Lord has directed our steps. God is So SO SOOO GOOD!
