We made it!

We finally made it to Boston! Manny arrived the weekend before me and James got there. Tuesday the 29th we flew in with my parents and started this new journey. We got right to work when we got to the condo. Let me just say that my parents are machines! In 3 days we unpacked every box, hung up art on the walls (more than in our old house I might add), Organized and decorated. We now feel extremely settled and are enjoying our cozy new home.
First sad day took place when I had to say goodbye to my Dad on Friday. It has been so good having him here that I just wasn't ready to say goodbye. Then the second wave of sadness came yesterday when I said goodbye to my mom. Talk about heartbreaking. It was the hardest thing I've had to do in quite some time dropping her off at the airport.
On my drive back from the airport (I was by myself) I just kept feeling torn. Knowing that this is my "new home", but longing for my old home. Wanting nothing more than to hop on that plane with my mom and go back to Charlotte. Although my mind is telling me that I where I belong, my heart tells me that we are right where we belong. Right where God wants us. It doesn't make it easy though. This is harder than I ever thought it would be. It's weird to be in a city where you know no one and no one knows you, you don't know what grocery store to go to, where the bank is, good food places, etc. I know you are probably thinking...it hasn't even been a week. But unless you have had to do a move like this then you really don't understand.
My mom did remind me yesterday that through this whole process Manny and I have both continually said that we feel like we are following God's lead and that Boston is where he wants us. She reminded me to keep that faith and to keep trusting in Him. I know if nothing else that my relationship with the Lord with deepen. I didn't realize how little I called on him when we were living in Charlotte. I guess I just didn't think I needed Him all that much. I need Him now though. Like I never have. I'm looking forward to going on this journey with Him. I'm just gonna need a lot of hand holding! :)
We'll be sure to keep you up to date on our adventure. Hopefully future post will consist of fun times as a family and maybe with a new friend or two!

Here's a few pics of the new place!
