Go West Young Mom?

It has been a long time since I have had the chance to write here. A lot has happened for us in the last five months, and yet, life seems to keep moving at our familiar speed. The kids are out of school now, and softball is in full swing. This means we practically live at the field, but I love it! We are still going about our standard daily routine.

My husband is still looking for work in California. We even went on a week long trip to check things out back in March. We found a great suburb about a half hour outside of LA that is perfect for our family. I still would love to live out there, but after having all those strong urges to need to be in California, I still haven't figured out why. In fact, I haven't felt that pull since we have been back. But we have been thinking and praying about our decision to move west a lot. It was actually a friend of mine that reminded me that we cannot lose in this situation. If my husband finds a position out there, fantastic! I think living somewhere else for awhile would be an exciting and beneficial step for our family. On the other hand, if my husband can't find a job out there, we get to stay here with our friends and family. Either way would be a win for us. So for now, we continue to play the waiting game, and trust that God has a plan in place for us, even if we don't know what it is yet.
