Most of my blog readers are fully aware of our up and coming move to Ohio. But I thought I'd post it for those few that I haven't had a chance to tell yet. It's all happened so fast. Brian has been offered a youth pastor position at a church in his hometown and we have accepted. Although, it's very difficult to leave the life that we have built here, we are pumped about the new one we are about to begin. Our family, church and friends here have been really supportive in this and are excited for us regardless of how it is affecting them. This opportunity is definitely a God thing and we are excited to follow him.
We are moving into a two bedroom apartment until our home here sells. Once it sells, we'll decide on a more permanent home. God has truly blessed us in this. It's definitely been a desire of mine to be closer to my brother's family and Brian's family. I'm so excited that Joel is going to have lots of boys to play with, as all of his cousins will be nearby and several of Brian's buddies have boys his age.
We are going to make the official move the 1st or 2nd of January. It will be bittersweet for sure...the goodbyes will be heartbreaking. But praise God it's only a couple hours away.
Please say a prayer for me...life with a newborn is a little crazy and to add all of this is a bit overwhelming. But thankfully I have several family members and youth that have volunteered to help, which I'm definitely taking them up on it. The 'For Sale' sign is up and the packing has begun!

Wish I could be there to help with the "newborn cry".
So glad you guys are going to be here. I'm sure we will have plenty of get-togethers! :)
thrilled about everything - I've been concerned about Janet - how's she doing?
Cherie...She is definitely not looking forward to this. I know she is sad for sure. She is use to seeing Joel(and now Luke) at least once a week. It's going to be really hard on both of us. In that regard, I am sad for Joel...he loves his grammy! Honestly, we try not to talk about it. She's in denial and I am too where she is concerned. Thanks for asking:)
Manda, I don't know how that newborn cry doesn't get to you! You must be made to have babies:) See you soon!
I thought I heard something about you guys moving into Brian's parents' old house???
Maybe on Brian's parents. It depends on how quickly our house sells and whether or not their house is still for sale by then. We'll see:)
