and so it goes

It's hard to believe that just last Monday movers were packing up my house. It has been a crazy ride, to be sure. There were so many times when I thought I couldn't do it, that I just didn't have it in me to do it all, and do it on my own.

But I did.

I've come out on the other side, and I now know I'm capable of far more than I ever knew. I think life tests us like that. It shows us that the hard way is sometimes the only way. For to truly learn and understand who you are, what you're made of and what can be achieved, you have to take the road less travelled. It may not be one of your choosing, but when you accept it for what it is, stare it straight in the face and give it all you've got, you're bound to come out on the other side- smarter, wiser, and a little less afraid.

I have so many pics to share from our first day in Hawaii. But for now I will leave you with one of my favorites, probably one of my favorites ever. I can't decide if I like it in color or b&w better, so I'll share both. Tomorrow's post- lots and lots of pics!

We're here! Can you believe it?! It's still kind of a dream:)
