Where do I begin?! Just a few weeks ago Matt was informed about an opportunity to apply for the position of Campus President at the Art Institute California Inland Empire. So many mixed emotions were present. We were thrilled with the thought of a chance to return home to our friends and family and all that we left behind just one year ago, but saddened at the thought of leaving our new home. But knowing that he couldn't pass up this opportunity Matt applied for the position, interviewed and got the job! Now that the news is out and we have had a little bit of time to process the reality of moving again, I can sit and share some thoughts.
Since we announced the news on Facebook it has been so absolutely amazing hearing from all our Cali friends and family on the excitement of having us return home. We definelty feel so loved and missed! Thank you to each of you for giving us this love, it has truly prepared our hearts for our soon return home. We are more than excited to be back in your lives and cannot wait to see each of you. Looking forward to family parties, friend parties, game nights, UFC fight nights, movie dates, girls and guys nights out, playdates and some In-N-Out and Carne Asada! Thank you for all your prayers as we have been away. We have felt each and everyone. God truly met every need for us out here in Cincinnati.
Oh Cincinnati! We didn't know what to expect coming here, and you have made us feel so at home. On the other end of all the excitement is of course the sadness. So many neighbors, friends, co-workers and church family members have expressed their sadness to see us leave. Again, thank you for making us feel so loved. The friendships we have made over this past year will forever be in our hearts and we truly do intend to keep connected with each of you.
And so the craziness begins yet again! Another trek across country. I'll be keeping you updated as we move along.
