A New Demographic

Life is constantly trying to test you.  Your plans are never good enough and always fall through. The great part is that if you let him god will pick up your plans and reshape them into his own. With a little faith and a lot of patience we all eventually end up lounging back after the fact and laughing about how worked up we got. Things always work out, if you believe you are not in the drivers seat and god is. The minute we try to take control is when it all falls apart.

It has been approximately 3 and 1/2 years since I told Matt I wanted nothing more to be happy then to move back to Minnesota from Colorado and finish school. Matt had been trying for a long time to get back to Colorado ever since his parents made him move to Minnesota in 9th grade. And after only 10 months he loved me enough to return to Minnesota. Neither of us have ever been the same.  Minnesota has given us so much, a house, a baby, family, school, great jobs, but it has never been Colorado. We knew eventually we would get back there but never in a million years thought this soon. One week ago me and Matt prayed for him to get a job in colorado at a certain company. Three days later Matt received a phone call on Thursday night, and offer letter Friday afternoon and accepted it soon after, all with a contingency he start work Monday January 30th. 

Here we go again, hopefully for the last time. How can we say no, the timing is horrible but the opportunity amazing. As I sit here trying not to get physically ill just thinking about all we have to do to get ready, I am also truly amazed at Matt's strength. He is happy and not scared. He knows god is behind all of this so why be scared? He gives me so much hope and my nerves seem to subside more and more. We got this, gods got this. We had 3 wonderful months in Albert lea with friends and family and now we start our new chapter. Asher's will be climbing mountains before we know it. 

I have to remind myself that this is what I wanted, god gives our hearts desires but he picks out the timing, so just because it's fast and soon does not mean it isn't what We have been asking for. I mean we prayed for it, god answered, if anything it is perfectly amazing.

We will be living in Colorado springs until we figure out where we would like to land permanently. Which is likely to be someone a little closer to denver but that's down the road. Please if you ever vacation out that way let us know. Otherwise thank you for all of your support and love, we are truly blessed. 



Prayer is powerful so be prepared...
