So long farewell aufwiedersehn goodnight...

Oh yes, I love Sound of Music just that much to bring it to the blog...so a rather big announcement for us.

After 6.5 years in Georgia, our family will be beginning a new chapter mid-October and moving to the DC area for Steve’s job. Earlier this week we accepted an offer on our house here. We will most likely settle in the Harper's Ferry, WV area.

I don’t really know how to blog about this because I’ve realized it’s terribly bittersweet. We talked for so long about going back North where there are 4 seasons but now I also realize that after this long SO much of life is here. When we came to GA we had recently gotten married and I was pregnant with Gavin so now the thought of starting from scratch with 4 kids in an area I know absolute nobody is horribly daunting at times. Finding a new church, and new cub scout pack and new doctors/dentists…not to mention new housing, friends etc. But this is a new chapter for our family and we’re ready to embrace it!

We’ve held off on starting any part of the home study which is a really good thing since we now have to complete it in another state!! We are still planning on starting the process sometime more towards the end of 2013 or early 2014. Please pray for the right timing and that God SHOUTS it loudly b/c sometimes we know we can be hard of hearing… we believe adoption is part of His plan for our family, just need His timing made perfectly clear ;-)

GA friends & family: We would LOVE if you follow the blog and keep up with our family through this move and also adoption progress. I realize there isn’t much going on at the moment with the adoption but in a few short months there will be and being away from the friends we’ve had for the past 6.5 years I can guarantee it’ll be nice to keep up and hear from everyone through the blog! 

Guess that’s about it for right now. So Please prayers for our sanity, new housing, transfer date to coincide with moving date etc as we embark on this new adventure!!

Random tidbit: Gavin is the only child who has seen snow and he was just 2 yrs old. Nobody has boots or winter jackets except Steve and I. I’m horribly curious to see what they think of snow… ;-)
