Big news

For almost as long as we have been married, Rob has dreamed of running his own CrossFit gym, and we have dreamed of me being able to stay home with our children. As a friend recently reminded me: God knows the deepest desires of your heart. I believe this to be true, and God has opened up a door for both Rob and I to do what we desire. I never would have thought that the door would not be right here in Sugar Land.

The door is in Laredo, TX...

Yes, friends, this means we will be moving. Rob has an incredible opportunity to run G7 CrossFit alongside his family in Laredo. While I am heartbroken at the thought of moving away from family and friends, I am overjoyed at the thought of staying home with my little man!

We will be moving at the end of February. The move will probably be a slow process, which is good because I was already feeling overwhelmed and stressed about packing and getting our house ready to sell/rent. Which brings me to the house...we aren't sure if we should rent or sell yet, so please pray with us over that decision. I know that God has a plan and will provide in that area too.

Since I will be a SAHM (that's Stay At Home Mom- lingo :) ), I plan to come visit regularly. After all, half of my friends are pregnant, so I will have many baby showers to attend, I am sure! I also have big plans for my Etsy shop (stay tuned!), and I want to get better at my photography. I already checked, and I believe Laredo does have a midwife (just in case!). We will be finding a church to attend, there is one that Rob has one in mind, hopefully we will be able to find some friends there.

I will miss everyone so much, especially Casey. But I know that this is where God wants our family to be right now, and we will be blessed for following his Will. Please pray for me during this transition.

Who knows? I may even learn a little Spanish!

It makes me teary eyed, but then I stop and think "wait a minute - I don't live in Sugar Land either!" Hopefully after we do great things to further His kingdom we can move back to Sugar Land around the same time!

That is exciting news!!! How wonderful that you will be able to stay at home with Bobby!

Looks like we'll be in the same boat at the same time. Last time we moved we didn't have to put our house on the market...so this is all new to me...and stressful! We got our little house online yesterday and I was so sad. I want to buy my own house! ;) But it's exciting too.

I'll be thinking about you while I'm packing boxes and such.
