News From North Carolina!


So I am for sure the worst blogger in the world, but I can only do so much (sitting down and writing about the boring things that happen in my life doesn't seem to make it to the top of my priority list). BUT I wanted to shout from the rooftops our news that we will soon be moving back to the land of BBQ and Jazz, Kansas City!! It is truly bittersweet, and each day I have a feeling I will get more sad and realize what we are leaving here. But we are gaining so much and it truly is what's best for us, I believe :) Our parents sure would agree! No more plane trips to see family!
The next month or so will be a whirlwind, as we try to sell our house here, Josh starts his new job in two days (training at home), looking for a home long distance, moving halfway across the country, and trying to fit in as much hang out time possible with our wonderful friends here.
I can't say enough about our adventure here in Charlotte. I remember after we first moved here I wondered what the heck we were doing, we knew noone, I was so bored, and left so much of my life in Kansas City. But God blessed me so richly with friends, a great job, wonderful experiences, and the best gift of all, a bouncing baby boy. Charlotte will always hold a very special place in our hearts because of that. It also is a very tangible example of God's faithfulness in our lives. Even if we never did get back to the Midwest that wouldn't have changed God's goodness and love for us, but we truly felt that is where we belonged and after years of Josh trying, he did it! I will probably be more sad after leaving here than any other move. But also so excited about what lies ahead for us.
