So Many Things.....

...so little time.

there is so much going on in my world these days. half of you have already given up on me and my blog posts. and quite frankly, i was starting to give up on them myself.

but i will say that i've missed you, sweet blog page. you allow me to vent, to record, to wrap my life up as it happens in just a few sentences on a page. so i am faithfully going to start back. who needs pictures? i have words, lots of them. and besides, if it helps get out things that are swirling around in this head of mine and makes me feel better, than why not throw out a post here and there?

sooooooooo here's the breakdown of our lives in a nut shell. really bigger than a nut shell, so here goes:

we are moving.....AGAIN! there are a lot of things i hate about those three words - we. are. moving. but there are a lot of things i am extremely excited about too.

hate:
- leaving some of the dearest friends i've ever known in my life
- leaving the most incredible, amazing neighbors i've ever known in my life
- knowing that julia is leaving the day to day interaction with some of her friends, even though SHE doesn't fully grasp it
- leaving our sunday school class
- moving from my beautiful, very well laid out floor plan, now very neat and clean, staged home
- leaving the people in our church who we dearly love
- leaving NEXT and all of the incredible people we've worked with over the years, especially warren samuels
- leaving a close sam's club
- leaving a close sam moon
- leaving la hacienda ranch
- and pretty much anything about leaving

i don't like change, despise packing and i absolutely HATE unpacking.

excited:
- the thrill of moving to a new place
- a new church
- being close to jason's best friend and getting to know some of the other friends there
- moving into a rental to pay down debt
- meeting new people
- full time day care
- being closer to brad and shannon
- being closer to lashay and steve
- a simpler life
- in some sick way, actually having to PLAN to go to sam's club, sam moon and maybe i'll be skinnier if there isn't a "la ha" near us

where are we going? WAXAHACHIE, TX! jason accepted a position as the pastor of connections (small groups) and missions. he starts september 6th. he will commute back and forth to mckinney until we sell our house.

pray we sell our house quickly.

i will work with NEXT through the end of the year, probably. maybe just until november-ish. they are going to be moving to flower mound around then so i'll help train the next person and then stop working there.

i will find a new job in waxahachie.

we are excited about the move and absolutely know god's hand was in it 100%. doncha just love when you know god's in it 100%? i like following god's plan rather than our own. it's both scary AND exciting all at the same time.

mom will move with us. she's putting her house on the market at the beginning of the year.

sooooo, be on the outlook for more postings in the future.

tonight? we go to def leppard, cheap trick and poison with some peeps from our sunday school class (see i told you they were awesome!).
