So my last post I was thinking of all our ups and downs and crazy adventures God's taken us on... well we're about to embark on another one. Here it is people, all official:
WE ARE MOVING BACK.
Yes, that's right. 4 months later, after unpacking my closet (finally), I have to re-pack it and move back. Don't get me wrong people, I'm quite happy to do so. Basically J's job was not working out (not sure if I wrote about that or not) but for the last 2 months he's been looking for engineering jobs. There's been nothing. No calls. No openings. Rejecting at every turn. So we decided just to check out the listings for the lower mainland. And there were pages upon PAGES of advertisments for exactly what he's qualified for. It only makes sense.... there's nothing holding us here in Kamloops, the housing market was super cheap when we first were looking into moving here, but from then until now it has boomed insanely and now is really close to the same as Maple Ridge, etc.
All I know, is I am SOOOOOO EXCITED because I've missed everyone like crazy. I hate being homesick. In a way I'm disappointed things didn't work out for us up here, but in another way I'm glad we still took that leap of faith, and gave it a shot anyways. And very glad to come home.
So now it gets crazy. We have to find someone to complete our lease (until December), find a place in Pitt Meadows or Maple Ridge to rent (2 bedrooms - if anyone hears of anything, pleeeease let us know!!) and both of us find jobs. Mine at least isn't too hard to find something... J's applied to a ton so far, so please keep him in your prayers!!
LIFE IS CRAZY!!!!!

Yay! Dh and I certainly know what that's like since we did it when we moved to Calgary. We stayed long enough to have a second child and came home. It's a good test of your faith and marriage but coming home is even better. Can't wait to have you back here.:-D
Yes there is still roomon the couch, if you don't mind a small group leader that is void of compassion :)
YAY!!! I only wish our basement suite was available... There shouldn't be a problem finding a place though.. good luck!!
yay! :)
I know someone who is thinking of buying a rental property. They are hoping to buy something with 2 suites in it, one for their mother and the second to rent out. When are you guys planning on moving back? I'm not sure that they will be buying soon enough for you but can certanly ask :-)
Yeah!!! I should read blogs more often and then I wouldn't be behind on the times, yo. 4 days behind. I'm excited none-the-less. I'll be praying for all the details to work out. See you SOON!
