The Adventure Continues

A lot has been happening around here lately.  Some challenges, lots of prayer, and some very difficult decisions.

The bottom line?  We are leaving New Mexico.

And so, the adventure that is my life continues.

We didn't plan things this way.  We never intended to be here in this desert state for a mere six months.  But this was God's plan all along.  Therefore, I'm ok with it.  That doesn't make picking up and leaving any easier, and it doesn't make saying goodbye to some truly wonderful people and friends any less painful, but sometimes certain seasons in life and your time with the people you meet there, is just short.

I don't really know if I can express the varied range of emotions I feel about our decision, but trust me, I have felt every emotion in the book in the past month.  I'm definitely heartbroken to be leaving our church.  But I am also excited about the future.  What exactly the future holds, I'm not sure, but I am excited to see what's in store!

What I do know, is that we are about to embark on a great adventure.  Well, I hope it will be great anyway!  At the end of June we are packing up, loading up, and hitting the road.  We are going to make our way across the country until we get home to Virginia.

Yes, we are driving all 1,960 miles with three small children, in a car that barely fits the five of us, much less all five of us plus luggage.    

But we're going to make it, and we're SO EXCITED!!!  We will get to see lots of friends and family along the way, and then we will get to spend some much needed time at home, where we have not been in TWO AND A HALF YEARS.

And after that?  Well, I'll keep you posted.  ;)

Right now, we're focused on hitting the road, relaxing on the beach, playing with our babies, and spending time with family.  I can't wait to share our adventure with you!!
