It was: A) The best of times, B) The worst of times, C) Neither, D) Explain your answer

D. Now I have to explain my answer. (See how that works?) I could have chosen answer choice A, and been done, but this would have been a pretty short blog. These past 10 months have been the best of times, and this is why. I have to admit, after Meagan and I had gotten married, we knew we would be moving all the way across the country to this place called Virginia Beach. I was worried that I was ruining Meagan's life, yes her entire life, because I was taking her away from her friends, family, everything that was familiar and comfortable to her. We were going to move to a strange place where we did not know anybody, no friends, no family, and we were going to live on our own, Meagan was going to have to find a job, and I was going to begin the toughest education I'd ever experienced. To say the least, that bugged us.
But now, looking back, this has been the best experience for both of us. In a very short amount of time, we have found wonderful new friends, lifelong ones, an amazing church to be a part of, that has helped us grow faster than we thought possible, and I've had a chance to experience the first stage of what I've always wanted to experience. The things that we were most worried about have all been taken care of. Rent is always there, food is in our mouths, and we are even able to have fun. Back home the man who married us, Pastor Bob, said this was going to be the best situation for us as newlyweds, and he was exactly right. I think of the part in scripture where it is promised by God that those who are faithful to him will be taken care of, and our lives are proof of that. We have grown in more ways in 10 months in Virginia than we ever would have back home.
Meagan is going to post about all the exciting "stuff" we have been doing. Stuff is the legal term for "matters that hold substantial weight." You won't want to miss that post, so I bet you'll be glued to the edge of your seat, checking back daily, hourly, to see if that post has been posted yet. This post was just a sorbet, to cleanse the palette; just to let y'all know that we enjoy being here, it has been a wonderful experience, and Meagan will provide the juicy details of just what has made this experience so wonderful.
