Now that it is finally official, I’m bursting at the seams with the announcement that our brother-in-law has been asked to be the pastor at a church that is only a half an hour from our new house!! We’ve been praying for this outcome for months! We are excited to have additional family living so close and since they will be homeschooling as well, we are sure to have plenty of adventures as we settle in to our new communities!! (yes, all of those exclamation points were intentional!!)

Tim brought the boys home this evening and we met at the local ice cream shop and enjoyed some much needed family time. 🙂 We all gobbled down our treats and then we took a walk on the boardwalk. I loved watching the kids laugh and chase Tim around, getting extra excited when he laid on the ground for them to tackle him. The shenanigans carried on when we returned home. I am looking forward to our move and the chance for us to all spend more time together.

I’ve been dealing with some pretty crazy stress over our upcoming move and this evening was the first time in a week that I got to relax and breathe. It’s so easy to get caught up in the ‘what ifs’ and worry about the things I have no control over. So today I needed this reminder, and I’m going to need it every day for the next few weeks!
