I have been trying to find the words to express how I have been feeling. And then I came across this post. And it explains beautifully what we have encountered (in a way). We are embarking on a new adventure. Steven quit his job and found an amazing teaching program to get his teaching certificate. It's so beautiful being a part of someones life who is following their dreams. To ease some of the worries that go along with going down to one income, we are moving. To a cozy, cozy space, that happens to have a second bedroom and is bigger than our current place. And much, much cheaper. Feeling way lucky.
When I look back on this year, I feel grateful. Grateful that we took a huge risk, and then another, and then another. For our sweet friends and family. For every single moment that brought us to this moment.
And one of our favorite sayings keeps coming up - This too. And I find pure comfort in it.
Happy New Year to you, happy, happy.

This is so exciting! What does he want to teach? I am feeling a bit discouraged right now because I am done with the program and don't have a job yet, and Aaron has gone back to work. But reading this makes me hopeful because I think- "well that makes perfect sense to quit your job and follow a career path that will make you happy." I suppose it just takes a bit of hard work, a bit of patience, and the ability to take a leap.
courtney! he wants to teach high school english, with the hopes of eventually getting his masters and phd in english, to be a professor down the line. he has been thinking of getting his certificate for years, so it's so exciting that he is taking that leap!! i think it's so awesome that you are done with your program, i loved following your journey with it all. i have a feeling with you find a job very soon!!
