Genesis

    My wife and I moved to Indianapolis August 1, 2012 so that I could pursue my education in the field of diesel mechanics. July 21, 2012 we exchanged vows and a week and four days later we packed up all of our stuff and started our three hour trip to be on our own. With Emily and I in the lead with the back seat and trunk jam packed, my step-dad in the u-haul truck with the guts of our new never-been-seen apartment, and my mom trailing in their return vehicle we made our way to Indy. Due to certain complications with tuition after we had signed the lease for our apartment Emily and I made our way to the college while my parents unpacked the u-haul and started to put our apartment together. By the time we got back to the apartment most everything was unloaded and put in place, just a few things remained in the truck that we helped unpack. After everything was in the apartment my mom bought pizza for dinner and we sat around our depressingly tiny 470 sq. ft. apartment to eat. Our first night in our new apartment was kind of rough, my parents went back home to Illinois after dinner and as soon as the door closed behind them that's when it hit us, everything is real now, this is all actually happening, and that realization came with lots of tears. Up to this point everything seemed like just a dream, it was just another day that started like any other, morning showers and breakfast all leading up to a day of driving and a night full of tears of desperation, hopelessness, and realization. After about 30 minutes of crying we got most of our boxes unpacked and put away so that we might actually be able to get some sleep because tomorrow holds job searches and exploration of our new found world.

God is good.
