Anything But Gray

So as pretty much everyone knows, I've begun counting down the days until we move. (374 in case you're wondering.)
It's always been common knowledge that we will eventually move from here but we've never had a date before.
It's exciting and a little scary.
But a few things have happened over the last week that have made me realize it's all going to be okay and that we are really going home.

First thing…
I was talking on the phone to Kirk last week and I was telling him what I had come up with for our car situation.  We're going to buy a new car back home when we come in March and just park it somewhere back home. Then we are going to sell both of our cars up here before we leave and then use that money to buy another car back home when we get there. That way we still have just one car payment and we don't have to worry about moving either one of our cars across the country. (How brilliant am I, thank you very much. lol) Well, Kirk mentions that he has a friend that might be able to get us a good deal on a car in March. So that's cool….but this in itself I wouldn't have called a "sign", but when you add these other two….

Second thing…
I drove Jaime to soccer practice today and when we're walking to the field together I see a little boy and an older man. The little boy is wearing a Patriots football jersey…# 54, Tedy Bruschi. I say to the little boy.."hey, cool jersey! Bruschi rocks!" The little boy and the man smile at me. Jaime and I keep walking and I hear the man talking to the little boy. I turn around and say "Hey…you're not just wearing the jersey, you're from Boston! I can tell…" He so had a Boston accent. And not just a Massachusetts accent…a Boston accent. (and there is a difference….) We start talking about back home and neighborhoods I grew up in, in Boston. Anyway, I tell him how Zak and I are planning on moving to Nashua in a year and how Zak is a Realtor and is going to do that back there. The man tells me to take a numbah (ha!) down…so I put the number in my blackberry and he gives me a name and then goes on to tell me how this guy is a top Realtor in New Hampshire and he'll help us out, as far as advice on what office we should look at..how  the market is…etc. He says when you call him tell him his brother sent you. How freakin' cool is that? That is super cool to have a lead like that. Just someone we can talk to that knows the market and knows New Hampshire.

Third thing…
Tonight I get this email from Billiejo….she is on this email list of Reverend Run's (of Run DMC). It's a little spiritual advice/guidance email every day. She gets them and she then forwards them to me. She told me how I could sign up but I told her that I like that she is the one sending them to me, so she does. And this was today's….well actually it was sent to her a couple days ago, but she just forwarded it to me today.

Coincidence that I just so happen to get this today?
I think not…

I have such a good feeling about everything today.
Such a good feeling.

I'm finally going home…and we're going to be okay.
It's a faithful calm I'm feeling and it took these 3 little "signs" to bring me there.
Maybe I'm desperate to believe, maybe I was searching for them…
but honestly? I don't think so…
I think God knew I was getting a little worried and starting to doubt things…starting to doubt if this move would really happen. I think He knew I needed just a little bit of proof…
and as always, He gave me the answer before I even asked the question.
God Rocks.
And I can't wait to come home!!!
