We are moving! In eleven days to be exact. My back still hurts from folding clothes yesterday. It just reminded me again why I hate *I mean HATE!* packing. After 2 years of calling this 1 bedroom condo my home, we are moving to a bigger 3 bedroom townhome. I guess the real estate downturn here in the US did a favor to us because we'll be paying the same rent as this 1 bedroom condo. Awesome deal isn't it?!? Our realtor/soon to be former landlord got us this great deal and she was even telling us that we could be getting a way better deal if we decide to actually buy a house. Hmmm... I guess that's too much for now. We don't know yet where we really want to live in and I am in the process of changing visa status which is very, very costly! I think it's for the best to rent for now.
This will be a very busy week. Packing! Packing! And more packing!

Let Go and Let God
I thought when you get married, everything else in your life settles down. I was so wrong. Oh well...
This married life adjustment phase is certainly squeezing every last drop of my patience. I think this is WAAAAYYYY more difficult than migrating to another country you've never been to and without any friends and family. I mean the adjustment depression that my migrant friends talked about before, I never experienced in my migration to the US but I am currently experiencing in this adjustment to married life. Hayyyy... Yeah, that's all I can say. I am not discouraging you from getting married. It's just the I-dont-want-to-get-tied-down me who's talking here.
As what my husband always tells me, each struggle and failure that tries to pull us down are the things that make us stronger. Every time he says that to me, I am reminded that I should be thankful to find a life-partner like him. I love being married because I have that someone to share my highs and lows with, who will not judge me when I am angry, depressed and frustrated, who will do everything to make me feel loved and cared for.
As January started, God has done a lot of amazing things for me and my family. Things that I did not plan and never in my wildest dreams would have imagined. I guess this year God wants me to let go of my plans... To put him on the steering wheel of my life... To direct me and trust his ways. I am welcoming February with open arms... as Mrs. Carlos. =)
