Recalculating


Have you seen the new Jeep commercials where they're driving and decide to take a different path and several times their GPS says "recalculating"? One of the better commercials I've seen lately, actually. That commercial came to mind the other day in regard to our life right now.

We're definitely recalculating. My brain is still kind of trying to play catch up with everything that's transpired.

We've officially signed the papers to be released from the home we were building. And while there is some sadness at what could have been, we mostly feel relieved because it had become clear it was not right for our family. The last few weeks found us with some growing concerns, mostly what the move meant for our kids. We were able to overlook a lot of those concerns until Devin was unexpectedly given the freedom to work remotely from his job.

Devin loves his job and we decided several months back that he would stay at his job, even if it meant us staying in a location that was our second choice. Now that he has been given the freedom to keep his job and work from anywhere it gives us the option to move to our first choice. And since we've already sold our home and have a very flexible rental situation, that gives us the option to find the right house and move when it makes sense. All this is good news.

All I can really say is halfway through 2017 and the year looks quite different than I thought it would.  I'm just praying by the end of the year we can be settled somewhere that feels like home and we're happy to be.
