On Super Bowl Sunday, two years ago, Brett and I found out that
we were having another baby.
Super exciting. Super scary. Super surprise.
What ensued in the weeks ahead was a lot of soul searching by two
scared parents. I knew I wanted something different for our family. Needed something
different actually. It was then that Brett and I decided to pursue the option of
moving back to Washington, PA - a much smaller town and the place where I grew
up. I must take a moment to give Brett a lot of credit here because at this
point in our decision there was nothing for me to do. He took it upon himself
to acquire his PA law license and eventually his WV license to make himself
more marketable. The unfortunate part of all of his hard work was that any job
out there didn't change a whole lot about what our life would look like. We
couldn't escape a long commute and city "living". In October 2014,
with the help of some people that had been "at it" much longer than
Brett, he decided to open his own law firm. The Friday night he returned from
his WV swearing in, we sat for a long time while he laid out this plan. My initial
reaction was obvious - that while this seemed exciting it wasn't something we
would not actually consider. The more we talked and the more excitement that I
saw in him about this decision, I knew this was it. We had prayed for so long
that an opportunity would come. We felt like all we were being told was no.
What I came to realize was this was all part of the plan. God hadn't been
telling us no, he had been telling us not yet because something bigger and
better was on the horizon. Fast forward to today, our family is in the midst of
some major changes. Brett is all in, starting his own law firm in small town Washington,
PA while I tie up loose ends here and finish out the school year. It' not ideal
and it's not exactly how we saw things working out, but again God is simply
asking us to be patient and put our faith in him that this is exactly how
things are supposed to be.
