I’ve been meaning to write this post for the past couple weeks, but it turns out life is busy, especially when you’re moving. Yes. We’re moving again. Back to Seattle, our favorite city in the world.
Four years ago, or so, right when Mr. was in the throes of his MBA at ASU we got really into watching Lost on Netflix. And when I say “into” I mean, we were obsessed. If you’ve read this blog for awhile you know that we aren’t big TV watchers. In fact, this morning I wanted to turn PBS kids on for Ava and it took me a solid five minutes to figure out how our stupid cable box works. I know, pathetic. But back to Lost. Getting hooked on a show that you can binge watch on Netflix when you’re in the middle of an intense master’s program and also working full time, was probably not the wisest choice, but we were hooked nonetheless.
Remember how after Jack and Kate get off the island, Jack goes a little cray-zay and starts saying “we have to go back” over and over again? Well, that became a bit of a joke for us after we left Seattle in August 2012. Craig used to look at me whenever we were having a particularly “homesick for Seattle” type moment and say “we have to go back!” Then, last August, a year after we left the PNW, we sat in Iver’s at Coulon park on Lake Washington and asked ourselves why on earth we didn’t live there anymore. Out of all the places we’ve lived, Seattle felt like our truest home, so when an opportunity came up for Craig in the emerald city we knew it was right. There are so many reasons why this move is a really good thing for our family, and for Craig’s career, and for our clothing line. Change is always bittersweet, and it’s hard for me to think about living far away from my sisters again, and hard for me to think about leaving Ruby behind here–not being able to drive over to her spot anytime I want to feel close to her. But, I know this is what the Lord wants for our family. Too many things have fallen into place, and I feel calm and peaceful. But mostly, I trust Him.
And I feel happy and excited about the way our life is going.
It’s a little crazy and I’m okay with that.
