It's time for an OFFICIAL update...so here goes.

First let me say. GO BUCKS, BEAT MICHIGAN. Jacob is so stinkin excited to be home to watch the game in OHIO!! He will be with friends today, awesome winners if you ask me! I, on the other hand, am with JOY working. Hey, it's not all bad, could be worse :)
We moved just under a month ago from Arizona to Ohio and we are living in the Bexley area of Columbus. I am working for a property management company doing some Resident Manager work. It's a good job, good pay, great benefits, etc. I love my boss, she is super sweet! My co-workers are fun and very helpful.
Jacob is still searching for a job, but has some very promising leads. We are pretty confident that he will have a job by Thanksgiving, giving us just ONE MORE THING to be Thankful for this holiday season!
We are excited to be in Ohio, but I'm not gonna lie, you FORGET how cold it really is here. I have been layering so it hasn't been too bad...but it is cold :)
I need to make it up to my mom and dad's house to get the rest of our Christmas decorations, etc. I didn't realize how much stuff I actually left here 3 years ago when we moved...it was like Christmas seeing all of our left behind stuff!!
So God has been blessing us, we are relying totally on HIM and whatever it is that He wants for and from us, we will be happy!
Thank you for all of your prayers and love. We are glad to be back :)

So it's been awhile...

Yes, I know. It's been awhile since I've posted anything...
Need I remind you I just hosted my parents on vacation in Arizona, packed up my house, drove 42 hours across the country in 3 days pulling a uhaul trailer, signed our lease, moved in, started a new job and am STILL living out of boxes...
Yes, needless to say, it's been an adventure. We are so excited to be home though. We've gotten to see all of our immediate family members, and a few extras as well. Tonight we'll be heading up to MVNU to see campus again and attend Homecoming...first time in 4 years. Before that I hadn't missed a single one! It's exciting and I just can't wait. I have to get through a day at work...but I can do it!
More news later!

We are back!!

Well after 3 long years, and a 42 hour drive, we are BACK in OHIO!! Yay! Couldn't be happier. Jacob's brother Jarrod and his wife Amanda flew to Phoenix to help us drive back. We stopped at the Grand Canyon. Strange that we had lived there nearly 3 years and never taken the drive up there!

Picture of the trip home, BEAUTIFUL mountains!! Some even had snow on them!

Yay we got to see some of the leaves changing...beautiful!!


God has provided so much for us. We are so blessed to have such great families! We tried not to doubt for a moment that we were well taken care of, and the end result was WAY better than we could have imagined.
I have taken a few pictures of my kiddos, and wanted to share...more to come obviously :)
