All in God's Timing

Well, in my first blog I mentioned that we were in limbo waiting for some answers about Brian's job...and boy did we get them. Last Thursday Brian was notified that he would be getting the job in Indiana. This was not a formal notification in writing but everyone just said that they had heard it was happening...so be ready. Monday comes around and he gets the formal job offer and is told his report date is the 14th of this month!!! What?!? That is only a few days away. We have to pack the house, arrange help, schedule one of our cars to be shipped and fly family members out to help drive and deal with infants. FEW! Well, we have a great start and I think we are going to make it. Brian is a packing maniac, I'm organizing my things at work to make the transition easier and my mom flew in to watch Charlie so we could get the work done. It is so surreal that after being away from home for almost 4 years that we will be back with family and friends. There are so many emotions going through me right now. Excitement, to be with family and lifelong friends...Fear of finances and feasibility...sadness for leaving the great church and friends we have made in Washington...and Relief to finally know what our future holds. It was really difficult for Brian to not know what he would be doing in his career and definitely a growing time for both of us in the patience department. We are products of the I want it and I want it now generation. Fortunately we had such great parents that we managed to not become spoiled brats of society. We still get used to looking something up on the Internet, texting and shopping at mega stores, which allow you to get answers and things when you want and for the right price. I am thrilled that the time to move has finally come and I can't wait for it to be over. I have the strangest dreams at night...forget things all the time...and wear two different shoes to work(it really happened today). Stress reveals itself in so many ways. There is no need to stress, because God is so clearly in every part of this process and I know he will carry us through to the end.
