'Official, Official'

It's now 'official, official' I guess that we are moving back up north. While we technically still know absolutely nothing - really - about how this is going to work, the word is out for the most part. Popeye was offered a position in the Joliet branch, and has accepted. We will be packing our bags (shortly) and heading up to the windy city.

We had our final weekend at Atlanta Church and it was bittersweet for us. For those reading, if you ever get the chance to visit the Atlanta Church or be a member there, you will be SO blessed. God is moving in that church and the people are wonderful..... with open arms and a spirit for outreach, they are living lives truly glorifying to God. We are going to miss them.

We will also miss being close to Popeye's family, as they now live only 20 minutes away and we are almost weekly with them for lunch after church or other various reasons. We are (selfishly) praying that they won't be too far behind us with a move of their own, however God knows what's best and we really do want it for them too.

The rest of the family up north (particularly a married couple closely related to us and potentially only living minutes away) are very excited for us. I do believe my youngest brother has snowboarding trips planned already.

As with most big changes, it's a little exciting, a little scary, and a lot surreal. Until we know more.....
