well, the caribbean photos have taken a backseat to bring you this very crazy announcement…
we are moving. again. less than a year later. *sigh*
that was very painful for me to type but even harder for me to accept a few weeks ago. gratefully, i am at more peace now but still very melancholy. you know me and change. we don’t like each other. at all. in fact, if “change” were a person i would toilet paper his house and throw eggs at it every night. 😉 but here he is staring me down once again. and somehow we need to figure out how to be friends.
so, where are we headed? arizona.
jeff is taking a new job working with his brother’s amazingly successful startup company. pfizer is now a thing of the past. which is a surprise to both of us. we had anticipated staying with pfizer until they went under or jeff did. whichever came first. but as fate, or more appropriately the Lord, would have it we are taking a step that we know is right for our family.
yes, it’s a scary step for me. all too often i am ruled by fear. and this is just one more opportunity for me to push that fear aside and have faith in the big picture. ugh…sometimes that’s really hard isn’t it! but it will all work out. aligning our will with the Lord’s will is never easy. but i know he will prepare the way. this i know.
meanwhile, i am slowly detaching myself from this place that i love. this home that i love. this comfort that i love. it feels just like a mission transfer. in fact, i always called that feeling in my gut “the transfer pit.” luckily this time i know who my companion is and i love him infinitely! (of course, i love you too, sariah) 🙂
so as a bit of therapeutic release, here’s a little tribute to my home here. i adore it. it’s been good to me. here’s to hoping arizona will be nice. yes, heat, please be nice to me!
over and out.

Hey the good thing about Arizona is no time change and having to get used to that 🙂 One good thing to look at. I’m sorry to hear you’re having to leave a house you love so much and looks like it was painstakingly decorated. Good luck on the move !
