This has been one eventful year, I'll tell you that. Moved 5 hours away, got married, finally got a new job, and will be moving into a house soon! In a way it feels like my life is on fast-forward, but at this moment it's an annoying commercial break. Ha ha, in other words we are staying with the in-laws right now and absolutely can't wait to move into our new home! We were just notified today that the bank we're purchasing the house from has chosen a title company! So that means we are making progress, at least. The light IS at the end of the tunnel here :-)
In my life, whenever I come across a stressful situation I like to remind myself of two things: 1) Time is going to keep right on ticking away (i.e. "this too shall pass"), and 2) Big goals are important, but the little goals along the way are what gets you there. For example, I start my first day of my job out of training tomorrow, and I am literally going to not think about it as a whole day. I am going to just tell myself to make it through until my first break, then make it through until lunch, then 2nd break, then I'll be on the home stretch and that dreaded first day will be over. Like the new house, we had to find the realtor, find the house we wanted, make the offer, sign a counter-offer, arrange for inspections, etc.. but I know that each step of this process will get us there eventually. Just gotta keep pushing through. It's very important to me to not let huge obstacles get in my way, to just get through them task by task.
