Starting date...

So we have a start date... March 1st. Yeah, a little over a month.(!!!!!!) The only time I've ever moved was when I got married and moved my stuff 20 minutes away to my house. I am seriously gonna have to sit down and talk with my Mother-in law because they were military and moved around alot. We will have our moving expenses paid as well as per deum(?) -money- to go up there and look for houses. We've also got to get our house on the market (Jeremy knows someone at work that might want it! so pray about that) It's amazing looking at my house from the perspective of buying it there's so much I need to do. We will probably be painting this weekend or Monday, which is a holiday. We have never gotten around to painting the bathrooms (though we've planned to) and the last time they were painted was 6 years ago when the house was built. I am just trying not to stress, things will get done and it will be fine. We will probably make a trip up to Georgia in a couple weeks and look the area over, and meet with a realtor. The company pays for 90 days of temporary housing and 60 days of storage for our stuff, so at least we don't have to make a decision on a house right away. I am gonna start today with going through the house and things we don't really need or that I just don't really want to keep that much I will be piling up to take to the Goodwill or Salvation army. Lots to do...better get busy!

I'm praying for you sis! It's a scary time but what an opportunity for spiritual growth. It's never fun to be pushed outside of your comfort zone but when you are there, not only feeling the hand of God on your life, but actually seeing him move those impossible mountains. You'd never have that opportunity to grow without the trials of faith. I love you and am praying for you all. I'm here if you need to talk about anything :)
It will be exciting to watch you grow as a result of this!

Jenn-
My parents are both doing very well. Thankfully! because if they were upset that would make it even harder on me!!! Of course we know it will be hard to actually leave, but we'll be fine, and we're all thanking God that he allowed us to be here through my IVF and my complications after pregnancy. It is very exciting to be getting a new house, and everyone says it's beautiful up there, but of course we'll miss our families. Thank God for Web cams! I will be blogging, and now I'll have stuff to write about, at least for a while. My blog is like my online diary.(I am a little OCD with my thoughts and this helps me get them out and quit thinking about things) If you ever come out of that snowy weather and you're headed through Atlanta let me know! We're definitely looking for a house where we can have visitors :)
