My family are worriers. I come from a long line of worriers. I worry about everything without even really trying. On several occasions I have just gotten that nagging feeling in my stomach without knowing what I'm worried about. Stupid subconscious...
I've been thinking a lot about CA. Moving, quitting, culture shock, no friends, No close family other than my sisters family and some random extended family, money, having no job...
Plenty of things to worry about and yet I have lost no sleep, I have no nagging feeling, and I'm actually way excited. We talk to people about how we found out that the apartments really close to Ryan's work dropped $200 in rent to $1480 a month and it's actually way affordable now and people have looked at us like we are crazy. And why not? Our rent here in good old Heritage Court here in Provo is $540 and yet we'll be able to make it in California. We'll be OK.
Questions about the other categories that should worry me get a shrug of the shoulders. It isn't that I haven't thought about it. I know it's going to be hard. And yet I'm ready to embrace those changes and hardships. I'm excited to move on and face this new phase. As excited as I was when I got married and knew I should be worried about things then too.
God has blessed me with a positive attitude. I know we are going where he wants us to and where he led us to go. I know He's looking out for us and things like the rent dropping on that apartment just let us know that He is making sure we are taken care of. How blessed we are and I thank God everyday for these things.

I'm a worrier too. Do you unplug the toaster religiously so the house doesn't burn down or double check that the door is locked? That's me. But seriously, glad to hear you know things will be good despite the uncertainty and newness of it all.
That's the ticket, Kimuel! Way to be! And don't forget, you have something else going for you: they speak English there!
I just love you! I guess the worry thing comes through the Purles side, cause I'm EXACTLY the same way. It's great to overcome that worry, and just put your trust in God's hands. He always takes care of us. ;) Love you cous!
