The Big Move

In September, my husband and I decided to that he should try for a job in the overseas.  It was a huge step of faith for me.  I was never comfortable with the idea of moving overseas, however, with our children grown and moved out, I've had a shift in my opinion.  So, he applied, interviewed, and in November we found out that he got the job!  It's exciting beyond words.  I've been a mix of emotions...scared, anxious, excited.  But, I'm seeing this as a wonderful adventure for us.  It's time for me to stretch a little, well, a lot!  We will begin the process of preparing to move soon.  The next few months will be a whirlwind.  We've researched a little for housing, but won't really know what to expect until we get there.  But looking has been fun...making it seem more and more real.

We've started getting the kitties ready for travel...microchipped and vaccinated.  Now, hopefully that health certificate will come through completed correctly and on time!  I've been pretty stressed about all of this working out.  I do not want to have them quarantined...ugh!  Frosty will be going to live with Beki and her three kitties.  I'm praying he fits right in.  My biggest regret is that with his age, 16, I may not see him again and that just makes me want to cry. 

 

 

Our girls are excited for us, well, at least very excited about coming to visit us.  I have mixed feelings about leaving them.  I know they are adults, but I still worry about them.  Just keep telling myself..."just a phone call away."  I believe God has opened this door for us.  I have no idea what to expect or what our future is going to entail, but I'm trusting Him to continue guiding and directing us.

To Move or Not to Move?

What a crazy couple of weeks it has been for us. John had a great start at his new job, but within 3 days things were about to change. He was approached by his new bosses about the possibility of transferring back to St. Louis. After a couple of days of weighing our options, we decided it best to stay put and not move. We girls are ecstatic, John has some lingering doubts, however, I know in the end he will see what a good decision this has been for all of us. God opened the door, He will make it ok. Beki is the one most effected by us staying, she will get to finish high school at one school, what a blessing for her. After much preparation for selling, our house is virtually spotless, clean windows, clean carpets, complete paint touch-up. It's like a brand new house all over again and that's a blessing to me. So for all of you who had yet to see the "Gateway to the West", you still have time to come visit. We are always welcome to visitors!
