One tired mommy to another...

Ok... UPDATE TIME!!!

Posted in Family

If anyone is still out there, interested, and checking in...

Here goes!

A couple of months ago, I realized hubby was somewhat unhappy at his job. Any wife out there knows (I mean KNOWS!) the value of having a hubby who is happy at work. Well, we started talking about options, dreams, hopes, desires... and we decided that we would just pray about what the Lord wanted us to do.

What began after that... well, just goes to prove that God created us in His image... including an amazing sense of humor.

We began getting daily confirmation that this was not the place for us to be. My husband began to get very unhappy at work, worse every day. Then the jobs started opening up in a land far away. Someone killed themselves one building over in our complex, and some little 8 year old boy threatened to hurt my 5 year old - several times and severely. Then Paul began to actually get excited about other options out there.

Well, long story short(er), We are moving to Nashville, TN which is "home" to me. I grew up just outside of town and my whole family (minus my sister) lives there still! Paul is super excited about living there, we have found an awesome house, he found a great job with wonderful hours and plans to start a catering business type thing on his own shortly after we arrive! The kids are excited to live very near to grandparents and I am really happy to be able to get my "stuff" out of storage and back into my house!

So... the moving truck is waiting outside and here I sit updating my blog! Can you say "procrastination"? Can you use "procrastination" in a sentence? Like, "Nothing like some severe procrastination to cause a real lack of sleep!!"

Thank you all for checking in with me, for your prayers, and for your comments!

I really should get to packing, or get to bed....

Tough choice!! ;)

Hey Chrissy!
I've wondered where you've been! Wow, that's exciting news! Sounds like you've had plenty of confirmations that you're doing the right thing! That will be SO nice to be so close to family.
Update when you can!
Love, Alyssa

Wow! How awesome is THAT?!?!?!?!? Praise God that he heard you when you cried out to him for blessing and honor and a "new life" for your hubby (for all of you)!

I'm super-excited for you! (Can you see me dancing yet?) You've got a moving truck waiting. (Will that be more comfortable than a "saddled horse" for such a long trip?) And, Nashville! That sounds so. . .musical to my ears! *lol*

You will simply have to keep us updated and share all the finer details.

You know, one of the places my Hero is interviewing with has a church campus very near Nashville. ;') Maybe we'll run into each other one day . . . .

Until then, I am praising God with you! Tell us more when you have time. :'D

You Are Likely a First Born
At your darkest moments, you feel guilty.
At work and school, you do best when you're researching.
When you love someone, you tend to agree with them often.

In friendship, you are considerate and compromising.
Your ideal careers are: business, research, counseling, promotion, and speaking.
You will leave your mark on the world with discoveries, new information, and teaching people to dream.
