Job updates

I have waited entirely too long to post.  Now I can't remember everything or even fit it all in if I could.  For now I want to update everyone on whats going on with the job situation.  Since it was on facebook, I am sure everybody knows that Kyle got a new job with the Marcus-Meriden-Cleghorn school district.  We are really excited about the change but sad to leave Rockwell City at the same time.  The high school is in Marcus which is about 20 minutes west of Cherokee.  It's really a great location for us because it's about 1 1/2 hours from both of our parents. 

I have to admit that I am starting to get a little overwhelmed.  We just found out last Tuesday that Kyle got the job and football practice begins August 1 so we would like to be moved by the end of July.  At first that was ok, a couple months, no problem.  But now that I start thinking about everything that needs to be done I am starting to panic.  It has been really fun looking at houses though :)  I just got the information to the bank to get pre-approved for a loan so hopefully in about 3 days we'll know where we stand.  Kyle and I have been waiting for several years to be able to purchase a home all our own so we are very excited at the possibilities.  We are praying that God shows us exactly what house He has for us.  One thing we have to decide is whether we will live in Marcus, one of the other town in the district or in another community all together.  There are advantages to living in Marcus since we will be so close to the school and won't have to drive much.  But, we would also like to home school one day and it would probably be easier to not be in the same district as Kyle teaches.  We are praying for wisdom from God as we decide the best situation for our family.

Aside from all the details with moving we have lots of loose ends to tie up here at home.  Kyle is finishing up with school this week and will be working for the school this summer as well.  I am also continuing to work for the Chamber until July 31.  I have a lot of work to do with the Chamber and the other committees I am on before I leave.  Rockwell City has a large event called Sweet Corn Daze planned for August 6 and I am on the committee for that and have responsibilities on the day of as well.  More than likely I will be coming back to RC for that in Aug.  Oh, and I haven't even mentioned packing yet or the dresser staining project I decided to take on.  Wow, all in just over 2 months! But....God knows and I am trusting him.  That and trying to plan VERY well.

Kyle and I leave for our cruise on June 12 and I am thinking we are both going to need a little break to relax and prepare for the rest of the summer :)  I am very much looking forward to this time away, just the two of us, and hoping that we will be able to reconnect and rejuvenate for the next 5 years of our marriage.  Many more changes will be coming and I wouldn't want to go through those changes with anyone other than Kyle.  I am so glad that God brought him to me. 

Well, I have much more Hayden news and some thoughts from my devotional I am working on, but it will have to wait for another post.  I'll try and keep everyone posted as we continue with the house search.  It's by far the funnest part of this move.  At least right now ;)
