Walking Down The Country Road

So, here we are... starting a new blog, a new life, a new home, a new journey.  Well, at least we're on our way to all of those things.  Recently life has thrown us more than a few curve balls.  We're definitely not where we expected to be or going where we expected to be going.

As of yesterday, we have a contract on our home in Missouri.  It had been on the market 42 days and we couldn't be happier to be saying goodbye.  We are definitely thanking the Lord for allowing us to sell it so quickly.  There are lots of memories in this house... the birth of both our children, the birth of my culinary skills, the birth of a spiritual vision for our family.  However, most recently, we have a vision of where we're going that puts all emotion aside when thinking of leaving this place.

As of Thanksgiving, we'll be taking up residence near San Antonio, TX.  Yes, it's a long shot from where we are now.  We'll be closer to family, closer to the equator, closer to Whataburger!!!  Needless to say, we're ready to go.  We'll be living with my parents while we look for a place to live, so that takes a few wories off the table.  I have already found a doctor for this pregnancy... HOORAY!!!  And we have a phone interview at 4:30 today for a job for my husband.  The Lord is working in ways we haven't seen in a while and it feels so good.

Anyway, for those of you reading this, please know we love the heck out of you.  We'll miss those we're leaving like CRAZY!!!  It's so surreal spending time with you all knowing we're seeing you for some of the last times.  I'm crying now... hormones... and this is why I'm not going to get sentamental with any of you in person.  I'm an ugly crier!  :)  For those we're coming to, we can't wait to be with you.  I'm so excited to make Christmas cookies and candies with my mom this year and actually be able to go Christmas shopping together and not online! 

Altogether, this is the biggest change our family has ever gone through, so please... pray for us.  We're hoping the Lord draws us even closer together than He already has.  He truly is so good all the time. 

Post #1 done... check.  There will be plenty more...

LOVE YOU ALL!!
