I've been putting off this blog.....

A lot of the time I look forward to blogging. I enjoy writing about my family and fun things we have done or how we are growing and changing. This blog, however, I have been putting off for about month now....

Everyone knows that my husband likes to move around, change jobs, keep things interesting and fun. Even though Greenville was a great location for his last job, Jason was not sure Greenville was where he really wanted to be. So, of course, he always keeps his eyes and ears open. Well, it just so happened, that his ears heard about a good opportunity back in Little Rock. We talked and prayed about it and finally decided it was worth it to at least look into the job. Long story short, Jason got the job offer and the job. Yay!

Today Jason left to go start working in Little Rock. It is so hard having him gone again. I don't know why I'm getting all depressed today, it's just like any other weekend....actually, if he was still in Greenville he woulnd't have left until tomorrow morning. Anyway, I am just sort of depressed and I guess I haven't wanted to post this blog because I didn't want to face the questions or the laughter.

I hated Little Rock, I mean really hated Little Rock. The MOPS group there was not what I was looking for at all. I was home schooling the kids and I hated that. Jason worked a lot of long hours which I hated. We were still close but far from Silom which was hard. It was supposed to be a city and Little Rock...well it just wasn't. The whole time we were in Little Rock, I begged Jason to find another job, anywhere but there. That is how we ended up in Savannah. Now we are in Savannah and the whole family loves it. I could live here the rest of my life and be totally content and happy.

But now Jason is back in Little Rock.....Not as far away as he was in Dallas but not near as close as he was in Greenville. Sigh! I guess you could just pray for us. I am excited for Jason and the job and what it is going to allow for our family financially but I am sad that he has to be so far away. Since Jason is a contractor and the housing market sucks we can't afford to move the whole family at this time. Not to mention, it is Stephie's 8th grade year, so we don't want to move her in the middle of her 8th grade year! We are trying to find a balance, trying to figure out when and if the family is going to move. It's just so hard! We probably make it harder on ourselves than it has to be. Right now we are hoping that by December Jason will have a feel for the area and the job there. If we need to move we will move in December, in between semesters. But for now December is a long ways away and I have to take life one day at a time!

Sorry to hear your family is in transition again. Little Rock is not exactly where I would want to settle either but there are some good places that are close by. We will pray that you and Jason will be able to discern what is best for your family and that you will be able to endure the craziness until December.

Don't feel bad or weird, my friend. Life is all about making choices, and you know what? Half the time we don't know what choice to make. We do our best to follow God's lead, but sometimes that means taking a step where you don't see firm ground. He will ALWAYS give you guys direction.
Not that "What About Bob" is a movie to pattern our lives after, but I have to admit that I quote more than my share of lines from it...one of them being "Baby steps". Today you need to take "baby steps" to the end of the day; then tomorrow, "baby steps" to get the kids fed and off to school, and so on. God WILL confirm His will for you when He's ready. I love and miss you guys!
