the future

Last month I wrote a post on my business blog about A and gave a small glimpse of what our future holds. We have been in Princeton for 6 years now, the longest place we’ve ever lived as a couple. Princeton has truly become home to us, but I will be 100% honest, I don’t want it to be my “forever home”. The community we live in is wonderful, full of vibrant families from all over the country and world, with many children to keep us all on our toes, ability to knock on a neighbors door to borrow an egg or a teaspoon of nutmeg, gather for weekly cookouts, and so much more. I am already mourning the day we pack up our home into a truck and say our final goodbye to Princeton, the seminary, my clients, and our neighbors/friends.

sometimes we do get dressed up!

I’m getting a little ahead of myself on the whole saying goodbye stuff!!! Anthony is in the thick of job applications right now. Deadlines began October 1 and continue until positions are filled. Interviews will happen in the coming months, and hopefully (keeping my fingers crossed!!!) we will know by early spring where we are heading for the 2014-2015 school year.

I was having a brief conversation with the seminary’s president and wife last week about our future. They asked me where I was hoping we’d land a job, and my honest answer is I don’t know (and I don’t really have a say until the schools themselves give us a definite yes or no!). The jobs are all over the country and if I got my hopes up on one place in particular, I will be utterly devastated if we aren’t offered a job. This academia job hunting business is tough!!!!

I pray every day that whatever is in our future, that it’s the right path for us as a family. I have put full trust and faith in God, that we will not be lead astray.

More updates to come!

XOXO,
