The Biggest Decision of our lives

Today I’ve decided to start blogging. I have had this on my mind for the past couple of months. We have just started our move to Washington, and this is the first time for both of us to be away from our families. So I wanted a place to jot down my thoughts and a way our families could see how we were doing.

Let’s flash back to 2015, the best year for both my husband and I. We had found out in January that we were pregnant. That is when we decided to try for bigger and better things. My husband applied for a job in Washington. We didn’t mention it to anyone because we were unsure of the outcome. Flash forward to August 26, the day our baby boy was born. It was the most joyous day of our lives. Our precious baby boy was finally here and our families were ecstatic. I don’t remember the exact timeline of all of this, I just know it was a few weeks after our son was born when we got the call. It was the most important call of our lives. As my husband went into the living room to finish the call, I waited anxiously in our room. I was so nervous. I wanted to move to Washington in hopes of owning our own home. Living in Hawaii, it is hard to make a living. He finally got off the phone and walked in the room. My facial expressions are not the best to hide btw. What was the outcome?!?  My husband got the job in Washington and it was time for our lives to change.

Our family was not so happy about our decision to move since we had just had the first grandchild on both sides. Our parents were of course sad about he whole situation. This of course hurt me, but my husband always reminds me of what we learned at marriage encounter. “When you grow old, and your children get older, they leave the nest and it is your time to reignite the relationship you had before children.” So that sticks in my mind, it’s time for us to leave the nest.

So here I am blogging about our journey. I want to start documenting the adventures we’re going to encounter and how we keep God in the middle of all this. Bare with me as I do not have a degree in grammar and not the best writing skills.
