The Prompting to Go.

Change is never easy. I've come to learn that in the small amount of years I've been alive. Something else I've learned in my life is that when you get a prompting from Heavenly Father, you best be doing everything in your might to follow that prompting. These promptings don't always come when we want them to or even give us the needed time to process. But that's where faith kicks in and you trust in the Lord and then do it. This is why Tyler and I are where we are today.

Back towards the end of August, we had toyed with the idea of moving to Michigan for a number of different reasons. Very shortly after the ideas started rolling, we were in the Temple and I had a very strong prompting that we needed to proactively try to move to Michigan. We wanted to be responsible and ensure that Tyler would have a job whenever the time came to go.

The next day, the 26th of August, Tyler started the job hunt. He applied for a bunch of different positions that would really suit him well. He was offered two interviews, which we felt great about. It wasn't until we had gone to dinner with his aunt and uncle that we were lead to a particular company.

Tyler got in contact with them after the weekend and they set up and interview for 2nd of September. Literally just one week after the prompting! Tyler interviewed for four hours with a lunch included. Afterwards, they offered him the job and he was to start the Tuesday after Labor day!

I had recently started working at this time but wasn't loving the job. I was so happy to turn in a notice right away. The plan was for Tyler go to to Michigan and start working and I would stay in Indiana for the next month packing, cleaning, and getting everything in line to go move up. Basically because we had already paid rent for the month of September.

But of course, that's not what happened! The next day (Thursday, the 3rd), my dad called me at seven in the morning proposing the idea to move both of us that weekend. Since we knew we couldn't do it without their help, we quickly decided we'd be gone in a matter of days.

I can't even remember about 75% of what happened that weekend because I was experiencing so many emotions. Everything was rushed, stupid drama occurred, and goodbyes weren't possible for most. We wished that we could have said goodbye to so many people that we love and adore but it wasn't possible. Luckily, we have dear friends and some family who mean the world to us to give us a reason to come visit frequently!

Now that we've been here for a little over two weeks, we've seem to have settled in well. Tyler is loving his new job. He comes home at a good time, weekends off and still gets paid weekly! But most importantly, he is so much happier. And with that, I definitely can't complain!

If I've learned anything in this whole process, you go when the Lord tells you to go. I've gained such a testimony of the Lord's timing and path throughout this entire process. While I don't know exactly what Michigan holds, it's where are a meant to be for now.

We are so excited for what is to come, especially fall in Michigan!
