What's New?

It seems like lately Marcus and I get asked the question What's New? about a million times a day.  I try so hard to think of a response to that question, but the problem really is, that not much is new.  And while change can be both hard and stressful, lately I am just aching for change.  Since graduating from school over two years ago (both of us) and starting new jobs, not a lot has changed.  I miss the excitement that new semesters brought or the excitement of graduating and getting a new job.

Our last major change in our lives was when we bought our house, and that was over a year ago now.   I loved the anticipation of building our house, and having it finished, and moving in.  Up until now, each year of our married lives we have moved.  We have never been anywhere for more than one year.  And now, here we are, in a house, that we absolutely love, but one where we will not be moving away from every year. 

And somehow, this is all hard for me.  My life is stable, predictable, and oh so good, but I am dying for a change.

This is when Marcus and I were dating, when so many things were about to change for us.  Don't we both look young?

Post Edit:  I am SO grateful for all of the things I have.  I don't want to come across as ungrateful for all of the good things in my life.

Love that picture! I understand. I love change as well, and sometimes I look forward to change so much that I don't enjoy every day that's stable and predictable. I'm working on it too! :)

I need to be more grateful for all of the change that I've had in the past year! It is fun to look forward to something different, but sometimes I wish our life was more "stable" (jobs, house, etc) like yours. Thanks for talking to your friend Heather for me!
