Unsettled

Today I was talking to a friend in my ward about our upcoming move. She asked me if the move was stressing me out. I told her that it isn't really stressing me out. While I don't want the move to drag out for a long time, we are lucky that we don't have a have-to-be-out date for this house. We will move over bit by bit over the next two weeks.

Then she asked if all the moving around we do makes me feel unsettled or unsatisfied with life. I thought about it for a moment and then told her no. She asked me how that was possible. So I told her that if I waited to be settled to be happy I would have been waiting and unhappy for the last 9 years. I also told her that I was single for a long time and pretty much hated the last couple years of my single life. Meeting and marrying Allen was such a blessing and I TRULY feel that with him by my side I can do anything. I know the life that we have chosen is not for everyone. Half of the time I wonder what the heck we're doing and yearn to have permanent residence somewhere. But for right now we know this is right and I feel so blessed to have a wonderful man by my side to work through the joys and trials of mortal life. He is my best friend, my soul mate and my perfect match in every way. I never dreamed that someone so perfect for me actually existed, let alone that we would find each other.

What a poignant conversation for me to have today, on our 9th anniversary. Happy Anniversary sweetheart! I love you! {To Eternity and Beyond!}
