I can't sleep. There is so much on my mind. There have been a lot of changes in the last month with our little family. Brett received a job offer mid-December and needed to respond with his answer just before Christmas. (Kind of a crazy time of year to make a big decision, but grateful for the job opportunity.) We gave it a lot of thought, and prayer and we felt like choosing this new job was the right move to make. So...we are headed to Austin, Texas in 10 days. Crazy! I think I am in shock with the whole thing at the moment. It still doesn't quite seem real. I have had a flood of emotions the last few weeks as I have tried to digest all that has happened. We love DC/Virginia so much and it has become a big part of us. A large piece of my heart is here and that piece will remain. We have such wonderful friends that are like family to us and it is honestly breaking my heart to move. I know we will visit and see them, but it's still so hard. Through all this we still feel peace when we think about this job for our family and we are very grateful. It should be a good fit for Brett and it's what he enjoys doing with law. This is definitely a leap of faith. I have never been to Texas before, but I've heard it's a great place. We are getting ready to step into the unknown, but it's those steps that make you grow right?!
There is a quote from President Hinckley about faith and change that I like:
It looks like 2013 is going to bring a lot of change. Be still my heart. Here comes the next adventure.

“Faith in something greater than ourselves that enables us to do what we have said we'll do, to press forward when we are tired or hurt or afraid, to keep going when the challenge seems overwhelming and the course is entirely uncertain.” -President Gordon B. Hinckley

Now I better try and figure out how to fall asleep. Ha!
