Guess what?! We're Moving!

Time has slipped away from me these last few months, but in a good way. Life has been so busy yet so fun lately. We are having a wonderful summer... many days spent on the lake and in the pool. We've taken many little road trips and weekend getaways as well. Savannah, Tybee Island, Hilton Head Island, Nashville, Gulf Shores... and speaking of Gulf Shores, we've got exciting news to share...

Alex just accepted a job near the Alabama gulf coast in Spanish Fort, AL. He will officially be a General Manager for Cracker Barrel. I'm so proud of him! He deserves this and it's been a long time coming.

Sadly, we will be leaving our home in LaGrange within the next months. I will miss being down the street from my in-law's, I will miss my current job at the Museum and all the wonderful people that I work with, the girls will miss their friends, teachers and schools, I will miss the familiarity of a "hometown" that I've grown to call LaGrange.

We know it's going to be a transition for us, so we gladly accept all prayers you can send our way, but we are very excited for where God is leading us. We are excited about the Spanish Fort and Daphne area... much more to do, a great school system, many family friendly neighborhoods and communities, lots of history but a focus on the future, central location on the water and close to the beach, and much more. One of the most exciting things for me is I will be a stay-at-home mom once again which gives us a peace about maybe possibly expanding our family in the future!

It's funny how the Lord works. He sure has a sense of humor. I'll tell you what though, it's true what they say, "If you want to make God laugh, then tell Him your plans." I remember when Alex and were discussing which stores he could apply to. I specifically said "No Alabama and no farther south." I love fall and winter too much and I wasn't willing to give my seasons up yet. I had several areas that I had my eye on... North Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte or Asheville, or even Charleston. I wasn't THAT picky, but God still laughed. Now, I laugh at my plans too. As soon as I visited the Spanish Fort and Daphne area, I immediately fell in love and just had a peace about the whole thing.

That's all for now, maybe next time I will be updating this blog from a new couch in a new home. :)
