I'm counting down to the big move! It's been a stressful and overwhelming last two weeks and even though I have been a little anxious regarding the move, the recent stress has been almost maddening and I'm ready to just go and sleep for one week!
Anyways I was reminded to answer a few questions around our decision and I filmed a video over the weekend just for you!
I hope I answered the questions well. I do plan on having a mini hangout on March 6th, which is on Sunday. Send an email if you're interested in coming :)
Follow me on Snapchat this week as I say my final goodbyes across Nigeria and I finally get to visit Calabar. My handle is @BerryDakara
You'll be fine! all the very best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Annette
DeleteI've been following you on snapchat and you seem pretty excited and not at all stresssed...singing and almost skipping/twirling your way away from naij :(
ReplyDeleteGirl, will I be putting the crying and mini tantrums on Snapchat?
Delete:p
awwww just watched the video. it will all be well...see proverbs 16:3.. praying for you guys :)
ReplyDeleteAmen to the verse. Thanks!
DeleteOh wow I got emotional watching this. But, it was so nice of you to tell us about it before it happens. So nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Funmi. I would have felt weird saying it after the fact.
DeleteI love you Berry. It's amazing how when we stop pushing against something, AMAZING things happen. I've prayed for you and Cakes and I hope wonderful blessings happen for you guys in this year of transition. My husband and I have had these same types of experiences last year and now, and every time we "let go and let God" it has been for our good. Warm hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Maureen for all the prayers, and the kind words and the wishes and everything! Super-duper hugs coming your way!
DeleteI wish you and Cakes all the best with your move.
ReplyDeleteThank you Uzoma :)
DeleteAwwww, Berry! *Big Hug*
ReplyDeleteI know it isn't easy. I once had to pack up my life and move continents too and I know it's not easy. From reading your blog I can tell you are a strong, fierce woman and you'll be okay.
We will always wish you and cakes the best! It may seem overwhelming at first, but it's for the best.
We'll miss your Naija posts but we'll still be here!
Love you lots too!
Xoxo
Hey UmmiBee.
DeleteThanks. Moving is not easy. Simple leaving my apartment was almost a disaster for real.
Thank you for your wishes and love. Imma make sure I keep pushing
Awwwwwwwn......Berry
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you,I know you will still be blogging and all but not chance of running into you at events and all.
God will strengthen your heart with His peace and prosper all your ways.
P.s: I love how you said,I had to give in after a while cos I know I married a smart man!👌🏽

Thank you Nike. I'm still jealous about all the events I'll miss. But life happens, aye?
DeleteP.S. Thanks :p
Awww!! Berry this was very emotional.. Am happy your making this step of faith and I surely know it will pay off..
ReplyDeleteGod bless you abundantly.
Amen, and thank you very much Gabby.
DeleteNow you wanna make me cry... Wish you and cakes all the best dear. Don't worry, everything will fall into in Pleasant places for you both. And as for the pregnancy, I love attitude towards it. Your babies will definitely come when God says it will. Keep being Berrydakara, and the best you are. God bless!
ReplyDeleteNo crying - enough tears from me :p
DeleteThanks a lot ComfyPearl! God bless.
*teary eyed* i believe all things will work together for your good. Really love what you do and I love your personality (met you once @ wed expo). God will make all things beautiful dear. Take care
ReplyDeleteAmen. Thanks Bunmi. Lotsa hugs!
DeleteCan't believe you are leaving...If only you would visit PH before leaving. Now off to watch video if network allows.
ReplyDeleteI did, but was only there for 2 days, and traveling in between. I didn't plan it too well or I would have had a mini hangout.
DeleteBerry I cried! Not wailing yea, but I had tears.
ReplyDeleteIt's tough to just up and move but God will be with you and your husband.
God is love and I know you both love each other. So God is with you both. He will never fail you.
God bless your endeavours.

Will miss you dear. Arh, March 6th is a Sunday, do count me in.
ReplyDelete*hides face* I had to cancel the event.
DeleteCan't believe I shed tears while watching the video. All will be well *e-hugs* just trust God.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww. Thank you Grace.
Delete*hugs*
I'm super lazy to email but i wanna come say goodbye!!!!! I'm sure you and Cakes will settle down nicely, I'm so grateful that I met you during NYSC. You are absolutely lovely and I look forward to your blog posts in Hotlanta!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ lazy!!!! It was very lovely meeting you during NYSC too and I enjoy your posts on IG a lot, so there's always going to be a connection, innit?
DeleteAwww Berry, we haven't even met and you're leaving already :( I have to be at your meetup on Sunday, please keep me posted dear. I pray for a successful move for you and Cakes, God would order your steps and make everything easy for you guys and I can see children coming already. You're blessed dear. Let me not say a final goodbye, I hope to see you before you go.
ReplyDeleteHey Chiamaka, so sorry we still didn't get to meet. I had to cancel the event a few days beforehand - long story. But thank you anyways for the prayers and kind wishes. God bless!!!
DeleteUrghhhh gosh i got so emosh and started crying. I wish you and Cakes the best. Your babies (as many as both of you want is here already). God will do great things in your lives and it was nice running into you at the airport. Love you and remain blessed.
ReplyDeleteSo nice seeing you too! You're always so sweet :D
DeleteLove ya. We'll be in touch.
Your video got me teary Berry and i must say, you will be fine my dear. You're a very smart lady. You will cope.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lily! :)
DeleteAww dear,been silently following you for a while. And just like you will be relocating to Canada with hubby.The actual plan is same as yours getting pregnant and going to have the babies over there,but still waiting for the BFP. Wether it comes or not September is fixed. Hopefully God will do a miracle before then. The anxiety of leaving certainty for uncertainty is so real, and I worry a lot too. God is on the throne anyways. He will guide both of you and you shall conquer . Ehugs
ReplyDeleteAh! You're my moving twin... kinda. I know God is really trying to tell me not to worry, but it can be hard. However, in the past week, it's been messages about not living in fear, having faith, and trusting Him over and over again. We'll be fine.
DeleteOh wow! This post in particular was pretty emotional, as you started crying, tears rolled down my eyes and I knew I had to leave a comment. Cheers to new beginnings! (even though your environment isn't new to you, but the fact you are moving back with your husband makes it a new and different phase for you). I pray that the lines will fall for you and your family in pleasant places and it'll be great news, greater achievements in Jesus Name, Amen!
