The Land of Enchantment

Little did I know after I wrote my last blog what was in store for me.  I moved to Alamogordo, New Mexico at the end of July.  The only thing "enchanting" about this state is that Trey is here haha and ok, ok, and the mountains aren't too shabby either.=)  For those of you that know me I don't like to mess around.  I am very straight-forward and am a no nonsense kinda girl.  I don't like to waste time when it comes to relationships and especially now that I am 28  years old (yikes!) I especially feel like I have no time to waste.  Trey and I had been in a relationship for about 4 months when I decided that the right thing to do was to move to New Mexico.  Our relationship had been long distance the entire time and I wanted to see if we could even tolerate much less enjoy living in the same town and seeing each other daily rather than the every other weekend thing we had been doing.  I was in a 5 year relationship before and I didn't want to go another 5 years before I knew if we were right for each other and if this was going to work for the long haul. 

So.............since it was easier for me to pick up my life than Trey (because he had just purchased a house in Alamogordo) I quit my job in Comanche, packed my dodge, and headed west.  It was hard moving so far from my family, friends and everything I've known but I felt the Lord calling me to Alamogordo for this season to see where things would go with Trey.  I have a job currently working for the city in the Public Housing and I'm really enjoying it.  I love the staff I work with and there is NEVER a dull moment as far as our tenants are concerned!  I went for about a month without a job and boy is it nice to have an income again! 

I am loving spending time with Trey and getting to know more and more about each other.  He really brings joy to my heart and I am falling in love with him more and more everyday.  He is such a mess (in a good way), but is also one of the sweetest and kind men I've ever known.  He is so supportive and loving to me, treats me impeccably well and makes me laugh more times than not and I just really enjoy his companionship.  He makes me feel like myself again and I just really feel at home when I am with him.  We are so alike but also have our differences.  I feel so lucky to be his girlfriend and that the Lord has allowed our lives to be intertwined. 

I am hopeful for our future and even though I am FAR, FAR, away from home I am glad to not have to commute to see each other anymore! 

I am grateful the Lord has helped me transition easily and of course I am anxious to return to Texas when it's time=), but I will choose to take things as they come and be patient because God is in control!
