A Lot Going On


Soooo I've got some BIG news.

Are you ready?

Really ready??

Are you sure you're ready??!

Okay okay okay... you don't have to beg. I'll just tell you, geeze.


Josh and I are moving back to the Mitten!! :) 

Josh got a job working for Sassy Baby in Kentwood doing IT work. He started last week and loves it so far. We got an offer on our house the day after it was listed. We found a house that we are so in love with this past weekend in Caledonia and put an offer in...so we are just waiting to hear back on that (hopefully tomorrow!!) And we are hoping to close on both houses by the end of April...so not too much longer and we will be Michigan residents yet again :)

The way things are going...it is so easy to see God's hand in everything. If these are not signs telling us this is where He wants us to be and what He wants us to be doing, then I don't know what more we could ask for. That is one thing that definitely helped us when making these decisions. Things are falling into place better than we could have ever hoped, imagined, or prayed for. We would be stupid to ignore it and go against it!

It's been kind of crazy though. I feel like there hasn't been any time to process what is going on, we are just constantly moving on to the next step because (thankfully) that's how things are going right now. Obviously I am excited, and ready, I just feel like once I start getting used to one major thing, another one comes right after it. House is on the market, BAM. Walk through that night, offer the next day. Like for real... when does that happen!? Especially with the housing market these days.

And it's bittersweet, too. I am so excited and happy to be moving back closer to friends and family and everything I know...but I've made some good friends here, and grown accustomed to a totally different lifestyle here. So many things are different. I will miss it here. A lot. It took me awhile to get used to it here, but now that I am, I love it. Maybe someday we will end up back here, but for right now, we both know and feel that this is the right move for us. We want to start a family, and it is important to both of us to be near our family and friends once we start that chapter of our lives.

Okay well with all that... I am off to bed. Tomorrow Megan and I are going out for breakfast (IHOP!) and then out shopping :) She is coming over at 9:30 (shut up, that is early for me on my day off) so I need to get my beauty sleep in :) 

Goodnight!!


PS... Are you happy now Mother?!?! ;)
