Caution: Blind Curves Ahead

 

It has been such a nice break from posting on here and, to be honest, I haven't missed it that much. But I will keep on posting because because sometimes I get an itch to write and because of the new circumstances in our lives.

Last time I wrote I announced that my husband was laid off from his job.  As of March 20th, exactly 5 weeks from being laid off, he was offered a job. Now this job just happened to be 2 hours away from my parents (also 2 hours away from were we lived) and 1 hour away from his parents. So to make a long story short all was said and done (like finding a house to live in, signing a lease for the house, packing, and moving) in a week (this was completely God's timing) and he started work on March 30th.

Can I say completely EXAHSTING!!

This move is/was so hard on all of us. So many memories that happened in our old house. So many friends that we had made, such as our wonderful neighbors across the street. Josiah even said that he misses his big blue room and doesn't like his new small room. So many family get together's that we will be absent at. And a cat, that my husband and I have had since we had been engaged, to leave behind. I am missing everything familiar. But this is were God wants us to be, out of our comfort zone, taking us out of our molds and shaping us in a different environment. Using us for His kingdom.

Me and my husband's dream has always been to live in a small town, live on a good size land, and live some place where it is a lot cooler than the Valley. I have prayed earnestly for that. I thought that that prayer would be answered maybe when we were "retired", but God has answered that prayer sooner than I expected it. So this new job, new house, AND new town is so bittersweet for me in the sense that it requires me to live somewhere where I know no one and somewhere were I can raise my children in the fresh cool air, in a laid back style of a small town, and where evil is so much more hidden for my children's eyes.

I will leave you will a couple of picture from the area around our new home.
