Round 2.

Oh hey!

Ya’ll I’m back! Maybe you missed me and maybe you didn’t. Either way I’m here to fill you in on my life a little. It has been about a month since I last decided to post anything. With that being said, a lot has happened and I’m excited to share it with whoever cares to read it.

Before I get into the exciting things that have been going on, I’m going to give you some reasons and a little insight as to why I am moving back.

1. Lubbock is home and it forever has my heart (that’s a good enough reason already).

2. Even though it has been pretty fun here this adventure has been HARD ya’ll. Granted, it has gotten easier and if I wanted to continue to live here it wouldn’t be so bad, but the first half of me being here was a struggle and I genuinely wanted to pack up and move right back to Lubbock. I was a little discouraged at first with how things were because it wasn’t how I pictured it when I moved up here. I’m over it now though, I learned so much this past year about myself and what I want my life to look like and I could not be more thankful for this particular season.

3. This one is a biggie…For whatever reason in this wild and crazy adventure I have been on, the Lord thought it would be super funny to throw a boyfriend into my life (who does he think he is?!) It’s not just any boyfriend though… it’s the best boyfriend ever (insert heart eyes). I have hoped, dreamed and prayed for this guy for many years and let me tell ya… he was worth the wait. His name is Aaron and we have been doing a long distance relationship since DECEMBER. You guys…10 out of 10 would NOT recommend the distance thing… it’s horrible and hard and I’m ready for it to be over. (the distance part that is lol) Don’t get me wrong, we have made the most of it and I can share more on that later, but basically I like Lubbock and I like him so it makes sense for me to just be there with my favorite person in my favorite place. It really is the best thing ever. I will not only get to be with my boyfriend, but I will have my family and all of my friends back too! Moving back was definitely not part of my original plan when I first decided to move here, but I know that it is the best decision for me in this particular season of life.

YAY FOR CHANGE.

So now that you know that stuff, let’s talk about preparing for the move…

In the beginning there was only one way to describe how I was feeling about moving and that was STRESSED. I have finally started to get my life together here and now the game has changed and I’m going back home. (ahhh!) I needed a place to live and work and even though I knew it wouldn’t be too hard to find something, I was still freaking out a little. However, in the midst of me freaking out a few opportunities came my way with the help of some pretty awesome people. I now have a job and a cute little town home! (YAY!) Something that is a little different though, is that I’m leaving the world of selling glasses for the world of selling furniture and will be starting at Bob Mills Furniture shortly after I get back to Lubbock. Selling furniture sounds totally random (because it kind of is) but oh my goodness this opportunity is going to be so good I can feel it and I am so very excited for it! Also, my new home is honestly everything I wanted and more and I am beyond excited to get settled in.

I am really expectant for this new season that I am about to walk into. Unlike when I moved here, I feel more than prepared for what is ahead, no matter what it might be. I’m still a little nervous but honestly, I am moving back expecting things to have changed and I have a willingness to accept the change knowing that in this past year I have changed too… A LOT. I have a new perspective, fresh ideas and a lot of really big dreams I am ready to see happen. I guess we will see how it goes!

27 days and counting,

~Em
