We are moving to Hurricane this month. There are aspects of moving that I hate, but I love the feeling of going through all my stuff and getting rid of things we no longer need or want. Tonight, Colt and I started to pack so all the pictures and things on the walls came down. Our little apartment looks so bare and empty!
Moving is a bittersweet experience for me. On one hand, I'm so excited to start over again. I am excited to live in a new place, start teaching (wow, I am not that old!), and settle down a little bit more. On the other hand, I am sad. I love Cedar. I love the snow. Cedar is the first place I moved away from home. It is where I fell in love with ballroom dance, Colt, and the fact that there are different sizes of infinity. Cedar is where my friends are. Part of me is sad that I'm not moving closer to my family, but I know that this is the right thing for us to do.
I'm really so glad that I have a knowledge of the gospel and that the Lord blesses us so much. He always comforts me when I am feeling sad about moving or anything else. I love that Christ atoned so that I could have that comfort and so that he could help me through my fears. I'm also grateful that He gave me Colt to help me when I am down or feeling overwhelmed about moving out of the college life. Thank goodness for the gospel and all the blessings it brings us.

Cute new banner! I'm sorry that your walls are empty. Your perspective is great, though. Thanks for an uplifting post. =)
Taking the pictures off of the walls is always the saddest part of moving for me, too. It suddenly changes your little home back into just a generic four walls.
I also relate to your sadness at leaving a place where you've had so much fun and so many memories. The first year I was married I lived in Provo but was no longer a student. It was weird to feel lonely in a place that was so familiar, but since I wasn't a student on campus any longer that's how I felt--lonely.
It won't be long before you make new friends and make a new "four walls" into a cute and cozy home!
