WE'RE HOME! Well at least where home is for the next two weeks!

I feel as though Jeremy and I have been running a marathon for the last two weeks! The sad part...we're only half way through! Here's a recap:

I hate to go to the dentist! Because of this about a month ago I was ready to take my wisdom teeth out myself. I have had two, count that again two, referrals to get them out. Did I do it? NO, I chickened out each time! Besides they weren't hurting me then, why worry about it, right?! Well here I was in pain and so the wisdom teeth had to come out now! December 16, to be exact, as if I didn't have enough going on! The day before my surgery my sister, Kate, calls my husband and tells him that the job he applied for last summer is now open and the job is his if he wants it! (For those of you who don't know, we have been trying to move to Tennessee for FOUR years.) Now a job becomes available and we can't take it because of the pay cut! That night, unable to sleep because of the surgery the next day, I start praying. (To be honest it wasn't so much praying as it was complaining!) "God, why now??? Why couldn't this have been six months ago like we planned?" Jeremy was doing his own praying. He asked God to make it extremely clear whether or not we should take this job, pay cut and all. We knew that either I would have to get a job or Jeremy would have to get a second job and to be honest I just wanted to be settled somewhere!

Okay, it's the day of the surgery! My sisters have come to help! Of course this is during exam time and Jeremy can't take off! Elisabeth is going to watch the kids and Meredith is going to drive me to the dentist! Five minutes before Meredith and I leave the phone rings. This time it's my sister Kate's husband, Darin. He tells me that not only does Jeremy have a job offer, but there is a job for me if I want it and two spots open in the in house daycare program for the kids. I call Jeremy and he tells me, "Jessica, I prayed that God would make it extremely clear if we were supposed to move now!" What an awesome guy! While I was complaining, Jeremy was asking for direction!

So here I am! Just back from the second trip to Tennessee in two weeks, surrounded by boxes and exhausted! We have found a house, a rental for right now until we can decide where to buy. This is my life, crazy, fast and sometimes hectic but always full of God, family and friends! I'm starting this so that hopefully we can keep track of our wonderful friends and family no matter where we are!

I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
