And we're leaving ...


Crazy events here in our lives is all I can say. We sold our house, moved across country for a job we thought was a great thing. After being here just weeks Andrew is now employed with his previous employer and the job we thought was a great thing turned out to be not such a great thing. Now, we are trying to sell another house :) and move back across country. How did this happen? Why? We are still trying to come to some sort of answers. We never got the feeling of "no this is not right" - we went for it and now we are wishing we could turn back the clocks, do things a little different. I sure hope we can find ourselves back in our neighborhood that we were before, that is what we want most.

Andrew feels very humbled by all of this, we both do. We feel embarrassed it happened, excited to come back, nervous for how it's all going to pan out, and sad for all the regrets. We've met some wonderful people out here in DC! I played basketball with some of the best girls I've ever played with and had some of the most deep chats with people I haven't known for a long time. How the church is organized is such a testimony to me of its truthfulness.

We're confused why it happened like this, but we are looking forward with optimism, excitement, faith and a desire to be better! As with all trials in life, they push you and pull you and stretch you. I just want to learn from this what I need to.

So .... everyone out West - will you take us back? Ready or not here we come!

  4. Yea! for us. Sad for your hard road. So very brave to realize you've made a mistake and quickly turn it around. Hope you're back in our ward soon. -Jennefer D.

  5. I have been following your blog for a few years and I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and the way I see it is that you and your family will be back by Jared and you will be able to visit with him, and the move was an experience that you will never forget even though it was not what was expected. God bless you and your family, you are in my thoughts and prayers....
