This time last year, Hub's and I were in Vancouver, Canada enjoying an extended long weekend. I had just started a new job and things were great. I like to think that we led a very blessed and somewhat worry-free life. Who would have thought, that in a few weeks time, our "mundane" life would be rocked by a life changing opportunity.
Recently, I found out that the job that I would have had was in jeopardy and many changes were taking place. It really put things in perspective for me. Usually when I'm having one of my homesickness episodes, I would use the whole "I had a great job back home and I'm reduced to this" argument. Now, I have to think twice about that.
Maybe it's because we are two and half weeks from being reunited with family, but I've just been an emotional basket case for the last few days, and it doesn't help that I've been sick and cooped up. Of course, you never see that in our pictures or posts, but it's those blissful moments that get me through these struggles. I ask myself every morning "what the heck is my purpose here in Vienna?" and there is never an easy answer. It's exhausting. Every day has become an uphill battle. I've taken baby steps to get through each day and learned so much in the last eight months, that I might not have if we were still in our past life. I am grateful for that, at least.
Here's to trucking along another two, crazy busy months and before we know it, it'll be our one year mark!
