New Blog :)

New Blog!!

Hello Friends!

Looking back over this blog, I can't believe that it has been 2 years since I wrote.  Our life has changed so much since I wrote my first entry. 

Our oldest is finishing up her senior year of high school and will head off to college next year.  #2 is a sophomore, #3 is in her final year of elementary school and #4 is in second grade!!!  They have all grown up so quickly.

After our first daughter was born, someone told me to always remember that "This too shall pass."  Be it something good, or something trying, it will pass.  I found hope in that when the girls went through difficult stages and now, I think of that saying to remind me that their time at home with their Daddy and I will pass all too quickly.

Our family is about to begin a new adventure!  For years and years we have been praying that the Lord would send us on an Adventure!  He has sent us on several, but now we are entering one that calls us to move.

We have lived in the same home for 13 years and are now moving out to the country!!  Not horribly far away, but far enough that we will only come into "town" once a week.  We are buying 10 acres of beautiful land, raising chickens, gardening and whatever else the Lord calls us to!

I have started a new blog about our adventure called City Slicker to Country Bumpkin.  The address is http://www.cityslickertocountrybumpkin.blogspot.com/. 

Hope to see you over there some time!!
