Where it All Began

Where it all Began 

  Where it all began… you want to know how in the world my family ended up where we are at this very moment? Well that would be a long story, a story for some other time. But now I can tell you how very chaotic my life was just a few months ago. Yes, just earlier this summer I was a stressed, emotional, wreck. This was the week leading up to our move. A time where I was overwhelmed awaiting what was to come.

  We got back from vacation in California only a week before we were supposed to leave. Up to the very last goodbyes I could not believe we were actually moving to Germany. I could barely even believe it when we stepped off the plane. I felt like it was all a dream, like I was in a haze of overwhelming craziness. I was the girl who felt like her head is about to explode, like she will throw up her heart and leave it behind. I was the girl who exploded… or at least felt like it.

   My room was covered, so much that you could barely see the floor. There was everything from clothes to books laying around. Moving is very hard, especially moving overseas. We sold all of our furniture, packed our clothes and put things in storage . I never realized how much I love what we left behind until we actually left. 

   I miss my friends, our church, school and even my bunny. Starting over is hard. Saying goodbye is hard. Leaving people you love behind is heart-wrenching. But it is life. It is my life. And I wouldn’t be who I am today without it. A good challenge is always worth accepting. And I have accepted many.
