Growing up. Thee Answer.

This post is long overdue, so sorry for all those patiently waiting on an update.

Before I let you all know the Answer to our journey and where we have landed as a couple, let me take you through a little bit of our journey.

As Michael spent over an hour filling out an application as an armed security guard, I sat in the car. Mind you it is VERY warm outside so did I have the A/C on and watched a movie on Netflix. But seriously AN HOUR +?! I literally thought something had happened to him. I called, texted, and prayed that he was still alive. I know it sounds silly, but in an area that I didn't know, I was a little skeptical. . . .
However, he came out looking like a stud in his gray dress pants, white collared shirts, and his black tie (my husband :).

He had an interview the next morning and apparently he REALLY impressed the gentleman in the office. My thoughts: "Awesome! This could be it, our open door!" The interview went very well and he had another interview set up for the following morning. During that time, he was offered the job. An armed security guard! His dream job, carrying a gun!

I had a successful interview with a company that would be a dream to work for (NOT NBC.INC). Great, right?! Michael had a job and I was still successful at finding openings. That's when our adventure became reality. . . . . Do we move?

Church this morning was great! A very different experience than what we are use too, but the message spoke directly to me. Topic: Growing up/Maturing. In what parts of my life do I need to mature or grow up? Ok, so growing up means living on my own, not relying on my parents, and being financially sound. The next one, mature. I would like to think that I am mature, but what does that mean? I realized that I may be somewhat mature in my earthly life, but what about my spiritual life? The Answer.

During our journey of a different future, I think we found what we were looking for. Michael and I have taken a huge leap into a deeper a relationship because of this journey. God showed us that and used many people to make that possible. We have taken many steps towards keeping Christ centered in our relationship that we may not have experienced otherwise. We have been given the opportunity to ask each other questions about life, love, and God that had never surfaced. We have shared our fears. And we have fallen deeper in love. Without each other, I'm not sure where we would be. But, I'm glad we are here, together, sharing this news. . .

We are coming back to Ohio. There is relief knowing that God has given us peace about our decision. As great as this faith journey was, it was even more perfect coming to know there were greater plans than us finding jobs. A faith journey for us came to be finding: faith in each other, faith in our families, and most importantly faith in God.

Thank you Mom and Dad H, Mom and Dad P, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, and everyone else - for showing us... There is no place like home. :) We love and miss you all! SEE YOU SOON!
