We Moved 🏡 🛻🌞

We moved. Pt. 1

My hubby and I moved almost two months ago. After many conversations, numerous prayers and endless tears we decided to move in with his parents (same State just 5hrs away).

To keep it short and sweet, I was struggling to increase my hours and clientele as a BHT (behavioral health tech), and my hubby’s company was going through layoffs. Life slapped us in the face, and we needed to take drastic action.

When we got married I moved into his apartment and that worked for us. We were content. We were two 25 year olds living as best we could. We budgeted, meal prepared, looked after our mental, physical, and spiritual health and took a few trips to visit family and friends in and out of PA. Sacrifices were made and yet we found ourselves struggling to live on our own and still enjoy life from time to time.

Moving in with my in-laws, into his childhood home, was a ‘walk by faith and not by sight’ move. At first I struggled so hard. Looking back, many of my mental blocks were truly lies from the enemy:

- There is no shame asking for help from family or friends

- I am not less than because my career path is not linear or makes an X amount of money

- I am not an embarrassment to husband

- I am not underserving of love

It’s been some time and we’ve settled in… I’ve developed a rhythm living with his family. We’ve secured new jobs that tic off the right boxes. Most importantly we’ve found a wonderful church community and are starting to make new friends.

Truly none of this could have come together if it wasn’t for God’s sovereignty, faithfulness and love. If we did it all on our own this would’ve been a big ole mess and definitely would’ve caused so much stress. To God be the Glory!!! This is His doing 🤎

Thank you for tuning in! 🌞 Stay tuned for Pt. 2

You are deeply loved

and fully known

by the most high!!!

Jesus loves you!!!

... Read moreMoving can often be a challenging life transition, and many individuals face similar situations when life presents unexpected obstacles. Whether it's financial hardships, changes in employment, or personal growth, the decision to live with family can provide much-needed support. In this reflection, we embrace the importance of seeking help from loved ones and breaking the stigma surrounding asking for support during tough times. We discuss how embracing faith can provide comfort and clarity, allowing individuals to navigate these changes with confidence and love. Additionally, we share insights on fostering new connections and building a supportive community, emphasizing the resilience it takes to adapt to new living arrangements. Through these experiences, we encourage readers to trust in divine timing and to recognize that sometimes, the most significant growth occurs outside of our comfort zones. Remember, reaching out to family and friends isn't a sign of weakness; instead, it's a step toward embracing vulnerability and strength. Together, we can find solace in community and faith, embodying the truth that we are all deeply loved, even during life's most turbulent moments.

So, we moved! My roommate and I had to move sooner than we thought because of our crappy & shady landlord, but, we moved someplace even better! Lucy (pic above) is still getting used to the new house, but she’s as adorable as ever! 🥰 #Petlover #lemon8challenge #movingout #movingin

Why I wish I moved sooner! 🍋🌸
I moved from Minnesota and regret not moving sooner! The city I lived in was so limited in every aspect- food choices, gyms, schools, shopping, kids activities.. shoot even date night was extremely limited for us. It is nice almost every single day. I wake up happier and ready for the day not dread

Before I moved into my apartment
Before I moved into my apartment versus now! The difference is so stark 😱 Remember that decorating a home takes time so make sure you find pieces that you really love and are gonna take with you throughout your different spaces! That way you’re not buying new things in each space. #Lemon8pa
