Aloha Hawaii

I started feeling back on track with my pregnancy at nearly 22 weeks. I was back at work, but not for long. So much happened in a week's time. It's amazing how quickly prayers can be answered when something is meant to be. A week prior I was at my wit's end about what to do when the baby comes, being so far from home and family support, how would I finish school, go back to work, how could we raise our family never knowing when Drew would be home from his abusive job? Not wanting to pay a stranger to raise our child, and not having the money to do so anyways, all I could do was pray for some kind of change to occur. Then, out of the blue, the very next day, Drew was informed of an incredible job opportunity back in San Diego. They asked for his resume that day and he was presented with the job offer that Wednesday. The catch, they needed him to start by the end of the month and they needed his answer by the end of the week. Well, let me say, we never even dreamed it possible to move back. I mean, we missed life in San Diego, and with Drew's crazy work schedule if you could call it that, we never even got the opportunity to enjoy Hawaii. We would day dream about what we would be doing if we were in San Diego, but having bought our home, and having great insurance and an amazing midwife in place, it just didn't seem like moving was in the cards for us. But all of the sudden this job offer was presented out of the blue, and we had two days to decide what to do about it. Long story short, Drew accepted their offer and everything literally fell into place ever since. I was able to change our plane tickets without too much hassle, we had already been planning a trip for the first week of May. I found someone to buy my car, I found an incredible deal to ship our household goods and Drew's truck, our house was packed, yard work was done, two week notices were given, and I even lined up a birth center in Hillcrest where I would eventually give birth.

 So, Drew and I flew in late on March 26th, and stayed with my folks until we got on our feet and found an awesome townhouse in North Park to rent. We moved in on May 15th and began preparing for the arrival of our son. This whole past year has felt like kismet. And it just goes to show that everything works out for your greatest and highest good as long as you put faith and energy into that belief. Thank You God!!
