Farewell 2007

This year has been full of highs and lows for us. Though it has been challenging, we find ourselves being better, stronger, and more thankful.

2007 Gave Us:

* A long cold winter
*Our first Jr. Jazz experience
*A husband without a job
*A mom willing to let us live with her as long as we need
*A beautiful new baby boy
*The loss of a grandmother
*3 Baptisms and 3 Baby Blessings on the same day
*A long hot summer
*Some post-partum blues
*A new school for the older two
*Preschool for the younger
*An introduction to the blogging world
*Resumes and interviews
*Dealing with disappointment
*Taking a job, not liking the job
*Relying on prayer and faith
*6 new cousins in 5 months
*A beautiful Autumn
*A very Thankful Thanksgiving
*An unexpected opportunity in an unexpected place
*Finally having a direction
*Tearing up while watching a child perform on stage
*Spoiling the kids on Christmas
*Creating memories, taking pictures, saying goodbyes
*Organizing, sorting and packing
*Looking forward, having faith, feeling calm

Welcome 2008!

We're glad you're here.
We're ready to refresh and renew:
A new year in a new place with a new job.
It's exciting and scary. It's happy and sad.
You're taking us places we've never been...
