California...Here We Come!



It's official.

We accepted the job.

We'll be moving sometime in August...we're thinking by the 11th Dylan will have hit the road for our new home in Idyllwild, CA and Katie and Ada will follow suit shortly thereafter. There are lots of things to be done prior to that however, such as packing, selling and donating all sorts of things, and most importantly, spending time with family and friends.

We are very excited for this opportunity and hope that you remember to keep us in your prayers. We love you!

The Ever Ongoing Job Search

This is the photo that we sent Tahquitz Pines Conference Center on our resumes. We realized that this is probably our first photo all together (that we orchestrated) since being in the hospital recovery room. And it's amazing how big Ada's already gotten.

This week has gone by extremely fast, not only have we conferenced more with Alan from Tahquitz about the job there in California, but Dylan started his new job at LM Glassfiber and Ada spent her first night away from Mommy and Daddy (there were only a few tears...none of Ada's however). It doesn't seem like just a week ago that we were feeling discouraged that no one was interested in what we could offer and then, BOOM, God opened a door for us.

Katie and Dylan will be flying out to California on Tuesday morning to see the Conference Center and also talk some more with Alan and his wife, Linda. Ada and Moses will be staying at Grandma Sheila and Grandpa Terry's. We would appreciate your prayers for safety, wisdom and peace as we embark on this part in our job search journey. It will be a time of bid decisions and it is our hearts' desire that God would be leading when and where we choose to go. If this is the place that God wants to cultivate us as a family and as believers, this is where we want to be...please pray for the wisdom to be able to discern whatever it is that God puts on our hearts while we are there and for the peace that whatever decision it is that we make, is the right one.
