On the last day of our cruise Jay received the news that he had been rejected from the last Grad School we had been waiting on, which was Missouri State.
In all honesty I felt relieved. I would have gone anywhere for my sweets.
But something about Missouri didn't feel quite right.

As heart broken and as much of a failure :( Jay felt, I knew in that moment God has a plan for us.
I'm grateful for the year that I had to adjust to the idea of moving somewhere far away, it was definitely a growing experience.

So now WHAT?
Within a couple hours of getting the news, we started fantasizing about living in California and talked about all of our options...
We have family there we could live with temporarily if necessary. But we would fist need to find jobs.
What if we can't find something that pays well enough? Then of course what about babies? How does all this effect the timing on when we start our family? Too many questions, too much unknown.

So right now we're stuck in the middle somewhere, or the in between, a rut, limbo, whatever you wanna call it. We're practicing patience and waiting to hear back from several jobs here in Utah and in Southern California.
We don't know whats going to happen but as of this moment neither of us can stand our jobs for much longer. We're not getting paid what we feel we deserve and we're simply not enjoying it. Don't get me wrong I am grateful that we have jobs to buy us food, a place to live, date nights once a week, our cars that get us from A to B, etc. But its time for some change.
While waiting to hear back on some jobs, I'm trying to pursue more photography.
I had some really great opportunities lately and I even re did my logo on my blog.

Fancy eh?
So grateful for all my returning clients, but always look for more...
Well that's us for now. I've had so many people asking me about our plan and whats next, so this is me telling you the best I can.
I'm learning that its not in our hands. God has a plan for all of us, this I am sure of.
I love Jay, I love this Gospel, I love the simplicity of my life, I love my family and I am grateful for all that has been given to me.

Wish us luck! And we wish all of you luck in whatever kind of rut you might be in.

My vote is for Socal!! Wish it was cheaper to live here. You can do my hair :) I still feel like we're in the middle waiting for the next thing to make me feel more settled. The important thing is to enjoy every minute because time goes by so fast and before you know it you'll have kids and be in a completely different place in life. I know I'll miss our tiny apartment when (if?) we ever move somewhere bigger :) It's exciting to think of what lies ahead. Keep us updated!
good luck guys. things will work out and you'll find your way soon.i agree with chels, so cal! and you can do my hair too :) we love you guys, and wish you the best.Enjoy your journey!
