I’ve Been Keeping A Secret…

by | Mar 2, 2015 | Throwback | 38 comments

…since December
We’re leaving Buies Creek. 
Until last week, we didn’t know where we were going.
We just knew we were leaving.

But now we know where we’re going.
So yeah, we’re moving.

We’re moving…  WE’RE MOVING!!!!
BACK TO CHARLOTTE!
Praise Jesus, Hallelujah!
Back to land of Targets and Restaurants!!
There are angels singing somewhere.  You hear them too, right?

There is a whole lot of story here; some is mine to tell and some isn’t.  Things have been insane the last few months and only got more so in the last week.  I’ll go into details eventually, but I knew I couldn’t move without saying anything.
I’m leaving tomorrow.  I know.  I KNOW!  Last week when we went on that sneaky little adventure?  Yeah, I was attending job interviews.  I landed a job (yay), and it starts on Wednesday.  I’ll be staying with a friend for a couple weeks until J joins me later in the month.
That, my friends, is life.  You never know what’s around the next corner.
In the meantime, I’ll be a weeeeee bit MIA as we make this transition.
And I PROMISE you a post coming soon with a little more information on 
what the heck just happened.

    Wow!! So exciting!! The land of Targets and restaurants, lol. Congratulations on the new job too, that's awesome!! I read your book over the weekend too. I really enjoyed it, you did a great job. It brought back memories of when I was in high school at my all-girls catholic school. Sigh. Haha. Looking forward to hearing more details, and I'm happy for you guys. 🙂
