Life undone...

Yep, back to the life posts.

Things are changing again (ahhh!) After much deliberation and exhausting everything to make things work here we are moving back. To make a long story short, the guy that was working on a GE job for Daniel, got another job and moved away before he could follow up with us. This was supposed to be, close to sure thing, in this market anyways. Daniel has done many other jobs and applied around the clock but it seems this was not the place. However, this was the place for us to rest, re-group, and although we stressed quite a bit, enjoy some very quality family time. I'm excited in many ways, I have missed everyone sooo much! But I was just settling in and starting to really meet people and form some special relationships. It will also be the first time for us to move and not have a house of our own to move into. My parents and Daniel's parents have offered their homes but due to Grammy and Michelle having surgeries in the last week they are living with them. Daniel's parent's home is a little full. My parent's are amazing and have offered to basically give us their whole house as they live in short spurts at each job site, as they are out of town and it will cut down on their drive time. This will be a great place to stay for a while, the kids will have lots of super great weather and outdoor space and it is a comfortable environment for them. We will work on getting our own place when we know exactly how things are going to work out. Thankfully the Lord has taken care of us and provided in amazing ways and is still continuing to do so. I am certain that this journey will continue to teach us and grow us.

Moving stinks, and I'm so tired of it. We have amazing friends and family who are helping us and even flying out to get us back. We certainly feel the love! And although it feels very much like we are going home to stay, who knows what the next adventure is and we are staying open to whatever comes next!

Everyone is healthy, we are enjoying the remaining bits of the 7 inches of snow from Monday... and just trying to pack everything up AGAIN. Trying to get some beach time and some Robert's family time as much as we can before we head out.

And yeah! we will make the wedding easily. I keep dreaming that we will miss it and I wake up in a panic. That will be the highlight for this year, to see little Jaime, who is now grown up, beautiful Jaime, become wonderful Shane's wife! We love them both so very much and cannot wait to see them begin their life together.
