About a month ago, my mother asked me over our date night if we would consider leaving in March. Her reasoning was that we were more likely to avoid bad weather if we left in March than in January. That's when I realized I hadn't even considered bad weather. It was a wake up call that I needed to take a step back and look at what I'm doing and the decisions I'm making. And I don't mean question my decision to move to Colorado but to make sure I'm taking the necessary and safe precautions to getting us there. I came home that night and talked it over with Jeremy and he immediately agreed. I now realize with the holidays here that time would fly and the next minute we would be out the door to Colorado. I'm glad we are taking a few more months to be with everyone and then do this.
The more and more near Colorado becomes the more I am getting excited and anxious. I am so happy that Jeremy and I are taking this risk. I can't wait to live in a place with new opportunities, new friends, new environment, everything.
Ending yet another post feeling unbelievably blessed.

A Big Check Off the "To Do" List
After months and months (and months and months) of looking for a car, Jeremy and I FINALLY found one! We were able to find the exact car we (and especially I) were looking for - a CR-V (and in my favorite color no less!). We settled on a 1999 (Green) CR-V that has 72,000 miles on it. Only one owner and it's never been in a car accident. Not too shabby I must say.
When Jeremy and I took it for a test drive, we pulled over at this opening and I felt such pride looking over at him as we checked it out together knowing this might be our first big purchase together. But when it actually came to saying "We'll buy it," I was met with an anxious feeling building within me. I was about to sign my life over (a bit dramatic, yes) for the next 40 months to paying this thing off. It is the biggest purchase of Jeremy's and my life. I immediately called my mom right away asking her if this was normal and was elated to hear that it was.
So it begins: We have officially found the vehicle that will be bringing Jeremy and I over to Colorado. And I am happy to report that there is no anxiety at the thought of that.
Now THAT'S something to be excited about.
