Grand Junction

Matthew and I are still praying about where God wants us. I would love to be back in Junction, but my husband is a little hesitant. We're still searching for a job. Not just any job, but one that fits with our family dynamic, that can support us, and that won't make Matthew work obscene hours. We're also praying for a home. My heart is set on buying. It would be cheaper (month-to-month) and then we could easily keep the dogs.

On top of all that, Abby is walking up a storm. And we moved her crib into a toddler bed (sniff, sniff). We've been contemplating trying for another baby here in the next year or so... But it just depends on where God puts. The pay, the house, the room, the timing.

I'm homesick. I miss my family every single day. I cry when I put Abby to bed, because I know they're missing out on her whole life. And she's missing out too. I want her to know her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, and her cousins. I want her to recognize who she is and where she's come from. I know that our families will be a great influence, and addition to our parenting techniques. We are so blessed to have amazing parents and siblings, and we want Abigail to feel those same blessings.

I think Grand Junction will always have my heart. Its where I met Matthew: its where I fell in love. My best friend lives there, my mom, my sisters and their kids... My amazing, supportive in-laws are there... The more I think about it, the more that's where I want to be. I know that its a good place to raise a family, I know that Abby will be safe there. Plus, they have a Chick Fil A!

Ultimately we will go where God leads us. I just really, really hope that God leads us back home.
