New Year, New Life

Well.....it's official. We are moving. Steve was offered a great job in West Lafayette, Indiana at Purdue University. He officially started work on November 1 and the girls and I will join him during Christmas break. It's going to be a BIG change, but we feel God all over this decision. HE is a great God and, despite us, continues to bless us beyond measure.

We are having a very untraditional Christmas this year. No Christmas tree, but there are lots of moving boxes. The girls are taking this all in stride. We are very sad to leave Florida, but excited to be back near family. Steve's side of the family will live 10-15 minutes from us and my family about an hour.

Please pray for us as we start this new page in our lives.

Wow. Totally forgot I had a blog, obviously since my last post was Dec. '08.

Ok, so I guess I can add this to my list of things to do this year. I will make an effort to keep my blog up to date.

Let me start by saying that God has truly been faithful to us this past year. It has been a very difficult year for sure. In September, Steve was finally offered a position in sales for Maronda Homes. He is doing very well there, but it's just not what he wants to do. We are believing that this is all part of God's plan for us and it may just be a stepping stone. However, we also remember that we are to be grateful. So many out there are still searching for a job.

The girls are loving school. Ragan is in 8th grade, Reilly in 5th, and Rinna is in 1st. We have had to start the dreaded high school planning. I cannot believe I am about to have a baby in high school. Why does time go so fast? Reilly will be going to Washington DC in April for the Safety Patrol trip. Another milestone that I have a certain dread about, but I know that she is excited. My little Rinna is growing too. She is excelling in school. They all 3 make me so proud.

I am loving working with my friend, Dyan at Limelight. It's a great shop and in my opinion, doing very well. I am praying for success for her.

That's all for now. I will post pics soon.
