When I first got engaged back in October, I thought that I had more than enough time to plan a wedding, but boy does time fly. Before you know it, there's only 17 days left before the big day and you're double checking everything and feeling like you're always forgetting something...haha. With so many things going on at once, it can definitely become overwhelming. Right now, I'm getting wedding plans together, searching for jobs, and still searching for a place to live with Hud.
We had originally planned on staying in Asheville and had picked out an apartment and everything, but it's so interesting how God can place you somewhere else at the flip of a coin. A few weeks ago Hudson received a letter from VCOM in Blacksburg,Virginia stating that he had been accepted into medical school for the fall of 2012!!!!!!! I'm so stinkin proud of him...I knew he could get in!!! He's wanted to be a doctor since he was a little boy and last year he applied after taking the MCAT. He actually ended up applying a little late, so he was placed on the waiting list at several schools, but VCOM will go ahead and accept students for the following year if there isn't enough space for this year.
After hearing the good news, we've been trying to figure out where God wants us for a year until he begins school. At this point we really feel that Virginia is where we're meant to be, but we don't know how we're going to do it yet. I've been applying for jobs up there and next week we're going to go look at different apartments and houses. It's the weirdest feeling....we feel peace about moving up there even though it's not definite about having jobs yet or housing. I know that to some, it probably sounds completely crazy to even think about moving, because one of us already has a job in Asheville. It would be the easier choice, for sure. So, right now we're trusting that god will guide and place us where he wants, even if it's a little more difficult. It may be that we live in Asheville for a month or two until we find a job and housing or it may be that we get to move sooner. In the end we're both excited to see where we'll be :)
