Decisions...

I haven't been in the mood to blog much lately. Seems like all I think about these days is, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO MOVE? I'm driving myself crazy looking through city info pages, maps, photos, school websites, home listings, and way too many online city forums.

Bryan and I went out to Washington state a couple weeks ago to interview for jobs. "REAL JOBS," as Bryan calls them. We had a great time exploring new places and spending some alone time together (THANKS to Kjirsti, Tom, and Deb!). There were a couple cities we felt especially good about and even have a couple of offers already to choose from (yay Babe!). It's very exciting and emotional, trying to imagine our lives in a brand new place. When I get nervous, I try to remember how scary it was to move to Cleveland four years ago, and how comfortable and happy we are here now. Overall, we feel peace about the direction we are headed, so I feel confident that the Lord will take care of us.

Moving is so scary and exciting at the same time. We miss Ohio, but we love it here! That is such a blessing that you guys have some jobs to choose from. And it is even better that they're in WA! Everything will work out. It always does when you are doing the right thing. I remember doing all the research online. It is so hard to get a real feel for a place by looking at the websites. You get to a point where you just have to go there and figure it all out. Congrats guys!

Yeah Washington! It is really stressful to know that where you are moving could quite possibly be for a long time (or forever). I'm so glad he got some job offers too! Good luck with everything. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Wow, job offers! That could be us if Jeromy hadn't decided to do that silly fellowship! Bryan will have to give Jeromy some pointers on job hunting.

You guys will be a great addition to whatever area you end up in! It definitely is scary as this move is a bit more permanent, but I'm confident you'll end up in the right place of for you!

I'm just glad that we are moving too, so we don't have to watch more of our good friends leave us! If you're in Washington it will be great to visit you and the Shupes when we make a trip out there!
