Westward Ho!

After three years in my beloved Hewitt, TX, we have moved home to Arizona. Words cannot express the heartbreak I feel about leaving my dear friends and tender memories behind. A lot happened to our little family while we were there and I experienced so much personal growth; it has been life-changing. A little piece of my heart will always belong in the heart o' Texas. I will miss you!

On the other hand, we have been so amazingly blessed to find ourselves back in our home state close to our parents and much of our extended families. Jeff was able to get a good job with a stable company and we are so excited about this opportunity! We know the timing is right and have felt the Lord's hand guiding every step of this journey. I am continually awed and amazed at our Heavenly Father's love for us and his willingness to bless us in ways that we never thought possible. I have felt and seen it too many times to doubt it.

We are currently staying with Jeff's parents while we try to figure out where we want to live exactly. I have been somewhat stressed about this but I know that as we continue to pray and seek guidance, we will know what we should do. The kids start school next Wednesday and so we are working on getting them ready for that! But mostly right now, we are having so much fun with cousins since most of Jeff's family is in town!

It has been a busy summer and lots of changes for our family but we are optimistic and excited about the future! Life is beautiful and we are blessed.
