We found out that Matt would be working internationally again next year, but in a location that Annie wouldn't be able to join him... a year apart isn't something you plan on nor forward to on your wedding day. That's when you begin your lives together, right?
So our minds were whirling with plans, research, and how to make that year apart as purposeful and positive as possible. That is when we got the call that actually, plans had changed and Matt wouldn't be going away for that time. Hesitant to get our hearts set on anything, we indeed found that this was true and that we'd be living in our home country again, together. That's thrilling news, almost too good to be true when you've been on a roller coaster ride the past few months trying to figure out where all the pieces are going to land.
All of this reminded us that no matter what happens in life, there are hard times and seasons that stretch us whether we sign up for it or not. Life is full of change and in certain capacities we embrace that: in adventure, in travel, in trying new things, in exploring the world around us; but in other capacities, change is scary because of the uncertainty that accompanies it. But we have found that despite our fear, it's been a chance for us to put our faith in something larger than ourselves and rely on the only thing in life that is unchanging.
Cheers to life.
