Worth it...


There is a quote, "I'm not going to tell you it is going to be easy, I'm telling you it is going to be worth it!  This quote has run through my head numerous times the last few months.

It started with a phone call!  AJ called on a Friday to tell me that he had been offered a job in the United Kingdom.  We had discussed this possible opportunity over many months.  We talked about the adventures, the sacrifices, the excitement, and the fear.  After many heart-to-heart discussions, we decided that if the opportunity arose, we would take it!

Well...the opportunity came.  It was no longer just talk; it was real.  In a matter of moments, life changed!  We committed and took a leap of faith together.  We are leaving our family and friends, the life we have known, to jump across the pond.

There are moments of excitement about the new experiences and memories we will have, but there are also moments of fear of the unknown.  As AJ and I begin this journey together, there are going to easy moments, happy moments, hard moments, and sad moments, but each of these moments will be a part of the journey!  It isn't going to be easy, but I know we will look back on all our experiences and memories in the United Kingdom and say it was WORTH IT!

Remember, the lights are always on!
