Embracing Change.

This summer immediately started with my family and me moving to the state of Arizona.

My wife was given the opportunity to move in her position to the Tempe office.

I wish I could say that when we learned of this opportunity for my wife, we jumped on it but I was scared.

I was scared of the possibility of not finding a teaching job. 

I was scared of moving away from my home for a majority of my life and where my parents live.

I am scared for what this move will look like for my children. 

I am scared about moving away from the relationships that I have been developing over the last six years of my adult life.

I am scared about moving away from my comfort zones. 

                                                   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am learning again to embrace change.

Being here for almost a month now I have been able to accept a teaching position.

I have been able to find my CrossFit gym. 

I have been able to spend time with my son golfing and swimming while waiting for our girls to join us. 

I have been able to drive around and not have to use maps for every place I want to go. 

                                                 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This move has reminded me that change is not bad and is necessary to promote new growth and new thinking.

Living in a larger, more diverse area, I have a lot to learn.

I will embrace this new learning and I will embrace new experiences that lie ahead.
