what i thought i wanted...

...when we moved here 4 years ago, was to live in the DC area for a year. That's what I promised Eric, as his wife. I came here kicking and screaming and gave him a year. I'm sure all of you have heard by now the notorious story of how I reacted to the DoD offer letter: I ran to the bathroom and threw up.

At the end of that year, I realized I had friends. I had a life. I also had some other really amazing things that I don't think I ever would have gotten if God hadn't drop-kicked me to Northern Virginia. God has blessed us here, so much that I can't even fit it all in one post. So you all will have to excuse me if my blog gets annoyingly sappy and clingy over the next few weeks and months.

I know moving to Ohio is what's best right now. We've prayed about it like crazy - prayed that God would open or close doors and that we would just live His will. We are excited to go but sad to leave.

What I thought I wanted when we moved here 4 years ago is really happening.
