(*** kinda long and boring and there's no pictures but I just need to write it all down)
So the last two months have been crazy for us. Matt graduated, we had a baby, Matt had ankle surgery and then we packed up our place- moved it into a storage unit and drove the 12 hours to California to stay with Matt's parents in the gorgeous Half Moon Bay. (how's that for a run-on sentence)
Matt is still interviewing like crazy and job searching to find the perfect job for our post-MBA life. He's been on crutches for 6 weeks and finally got the ok to walk just a few days ago. It's been so nice to have another pair of hands around! (crutches made it hard for him to carry anything meaning LOTS of extra trips when trying to get everyone in the car)
Half Moon Bay was always our back-plan. My thinking is that if I'm prepared for a bad situation, then I won't have to use it... well, not the case here. There's something big out there for our family, we're just having to wait a little longer for it. A lot of prayers, fasting, patience and humility have gotten me to a place where I can even talk about this. Why this is happening to me/us goes through my head daily but the boys are really loving getting to hang out with their grandparents and it's been a huge blessing to have family that can help support us in times of need. I'm searching for the blessings in this situation and can find the Lord's hand in our life- just not the way I had it planned out. Isn't that the way it always goes?
Things are still up in the air. One thing for sure that I know is that my little brother comes home from a mission in Argentina on Aug 17th and we will be there with signs and balloons at the Denver airport to welcome him home after two years of devoted service to the Lord. Until then-we'll just keep chugging along, trying to do what's right.
Matt has two fly-outs for two different companies coming up in the next few weeks to Grand Rapids, MI which would put us in close proximity with multiple couples from the MBA program which would be SO fun. We need a job, and Matt wants to support his family doing something he loves- brand marketing. I know we're being watched over and blessed by the Lord, I mean look at these kids- they're the proof of that for sure! Keep your fingers crossed and say an extra prayer for us!

Good Luck in MI! Its great to see the boys are having such a great time with the grandparents. Keep chuggin!
I am sure you will find something great!! YOur boys are so cute. You guys sure have had a lot going on for your family. Surgery, new baby, moving and looking for a job. Sounds so stressfull! we ahve some friends who are in a similar position. They just had a baby and he graduated in May and they haven't found a job. It is crazy to think they still haven't found anything because he has flown out and interviewed tons and is a great Dr . They are the same way about the situation, just at peace knowing that the Lord is watching out for them and it will all work out. I am sure you are both right, there is something great just waiting for you!! Good Luck!
Good luck!!! You're in our prayers. Glad Matt's ankle is healing up nicely.
At least this all means that you will get to see us this summer :) It will all work out though. We'll be praying for you guys!
those boys are the cutest! hang in there friend. pretty soon everything will work out and you'll be looking back thinking "what were we ever worried about?" :) i'm still hoping you'll find a job in seattle.
We love you guys!!!
