Life Update



The news is out. I have made it through "match" and have "matched" with Spokane Mental Health. Which means that next year I will be working as an intern in Spokane at SMH.



Jeff and I are excited about this next phase of life but at the same time are very aware of the sadness we both feel as we begin preparing to say good-bye to our community here. The students and families we have been blessed to meet and work with here have been incredible and have touched our lives in special ways. We look forward to the time we do have remaining in this place and the time we will share with our friends and the students and families here.

We also look forward to returning to the great NW, a place that we have longed for over the last 6 years of so.cal living. We delight in the thought that our families will be able to place a significant role in Malachi's life. We also long for the slower pace of Washington living, the mountains, the lake, the clean air, and the people. I am excited about apples in green bluff, watching the leaves change, having winter weather (snow?), and so much more.

We do not know our timeline yet but will in the coming month. We'll let you know when we know more.

Congrats are in order. What a wonderful and wildly different change this will bring. My biggest regret would be saying goodbye to H&M!
What a fantastic place to be!

Congratulations and many well wishes in this transition time. Transitions are tough, but you got a great place to look ahead too!

Congrats! I'm a little jealous. I entertain the idea of returning to Spokane every now and then.
