The Big Move South

Beth (my sister) came to visit and packed over 40 boxes for us... not the most relaxing vacation she's ever had:o) Thanks a million Bethy! You're such a blessing to us!

That's right... we're moving back to Texas! This is something we've dreamed and prayed about for almost five years. It's hard to believe the time has finally come!

Chris' current job here in Abbotsford will end later this month so we figure it makes more sense to move so he can be applying for work in Texas in person. Chris has been looking for work in the Austin area for a few months now. He's had several phone interviews but nothing solid has turned up yet. We'd greatly appreciate your prayers for us in this regard.

So, where will we be living until Chris finds a job you ask? My parents have very graciously opened their doors to the three of us! Stryder and I will fly to Texas on the 1st of July and Chris will come with the moving truck shortly after.

Of course this move comes with it's sad and difficult parts. We will greatly miss Chris' family, our friends, and church. Saying goodbye to people you love is never easy... we wish we could just take them all with us! If I could sum up this chapter of our lives here in Canada in a few words I would say this: it's been a season of discovering who God is as well as seeing His hand at work in our lives first hand in a very real way! Looking back on the last five years brings tears to my eyes because we've experienced great pain and loss as well as indescribable joy. All of which we've had the privilege of walking through with dear friends and family by our side. Yes, there are so many ways we will miss Canada, but most of all the very special people God has placed in our lives and given us the shear joy of getting to know over the years... you all know who you are! We love you dearly and thank you for making these years here some of the richest we've ever had! We are so thankful for the years God put us here!
