I wish I could freeze this moment. I’m cuddled up under my heated blanket, my dog is at the foot of my bed, I have fresh brewed coffee sitting next to me, I’m snacking on a bowl of fresh fruit, and the sun is rising over the lake.
This perfect moment will only last about twenty more minutes. Jeremy’s alarm clock will go off and he’ll have to wake up to go pick up the moving truck, Grumps will need to go out for a walk, and I’ll have to put the finishing touches on the packing and cleaning. I can’t wait for the next couple of days to be over! I’m the type of person that likes a routine, and this is throwing me off. I was up until 3 am boxing up items, and I look like a train wreck. My hair is in a matted bun, my sweat pants have numerous holes from getting in fights with the tape dispenser, and I’m in desperate need of a shower.
Last night before going to bed, I sat and read my Treasury of Novenas. My mom bought this for me when I was 19 and it’s always been my source of peace and comfort. It goes on all trips with me.
On a plus side, I am officially packed for South Carolina and found my “oh snap” shirt! I bought this at Forever 21 last year and have been obsessed with it ever since. I wear it to the beach and pool. The entire back is cut out and looks like an alligator took a bite out of it!
I know this post has been extremely random, but blogging my blabbing mind away is the best way to spend a morning before the storm. Instead of shutting off my brain, I let it pour out here.
This is my last post from Michigan!
Tonight, I’ll blog from Chicago!
XO

Girl you’re going to love South Carolina! All of the packing and crazy nonsense will be over and you can get here and enjoy this beautiful weather! It would neat if you came to Charleston to do a little meet and greet once you get settled! A group run on Folly Beach would be WONDERFUL! Good luck!

Know the feeling all too well..! Recently moved from one amazing country to a less amazing one, for my boyfriend’s job too.
I’m also looking for every little positive thing I can here, and getting used to some of the things, but packing your life away can be so hard and so fricking exhausting!!!!
Good luck, safe trip and it will all be over before you know it, I promise 🙂

I totally understand how you feel. There are some moments I wish would last forever, the last peaceful perfect ones before a giant change. I don’t like change so I feel like that a lot.
My go-to book is called “Streams in the Desert” and it’s a collection of Bible verses with studies that encourage, give hope and heal. Even though my husband is Catholic I’ve never heard of “Treasury of Novenas.” I’ll have to look it up. It might be a good HS graduation gift for my cousin.

When I moved last time, I had a similar feeling .. I could not decide if I want it. And last morning in my bed, the house seemed to me the most warm and cozy place. The next three days, I seriously stayed in that moment. When something was wrong or had problems, I was just thinking back to his bed.
But now I so much love my new home. And I happy here 🙂
