We Are ______!

For the past few months I've been thinking about change. In this post about finding the space to dream I wrote: "Even if my life looks the same today as it does a year from now, if nothing comes to fruition, it still gives me hope to use my imagination." Well, my imagination has been working overtime and my life definitely wont look the same a year from now. We have an announcement we've been waiting to share...

After much prayer and deliberation we've decided to move our family to Nashville, Tennessee! We haven't known how to post this because the timeline is not in our control. I just couldn't wait any longer.

This is something we've been thinking about for a long, long time but it was not a simple decision to make. Washington has been our home for most of our lives. It will not be easy  to leave behind the state that made us who we are, our family, and our amazing friends.Why Nashville?  For Dan, there are so many opportunities to advance in his career, meet other musicians and support a family on a musician's wage. I love the weather and the culture and I want to raise a family where we can play outside year round. I am also eager to find support in other road widows! We have many friends there, my littlest sister lives there and we are about a 7 hour drive from our family in Illinois. It seems like such a good fit but that doesn't mean it will be easy. We are terrified and so excited. Wish us luck!Photos by 2 Sis Photos, Chicago, IL. Designs by LMR Photos.
