Getting Caught Up

Back in April or early May I was looking forward to a nice relaxing and stress-free Summer. I was planning on lots of trips to the pool with the Fam, beach trips, ballgames, backyard barbeques, and lots and lots of mindless Summer movies. It was to be the Greatest Summer Ever. But unfortunately that never materialized. Instead it became a Summer of Stress, Anxiety and Hard Work. And because of that I have been absent from my blog for quite a while.

That is all due to the fact that in late May I was offered a job in Greenville, SC. that completely turned our lives upside.

We waited anxiously for nearly seven weeks to get an offer from the agency. During that time D and I worked tirelessly remodeling, painting, scrubbing and cleaning our house. On a typical night we collapsed into bed well after midnight, completely exhausted.

Then in late July, the offer came through and I accepted. My official start date is August 18th. But now that stress of getting a job offer has been replaced by the stress of selling a house.

At the end of the day however, Danielle and I place all things in God's hands. We rely on the fact that He will never put something on us that we can't handle, and we will get through this stressful time in our lives.

But we are also EXCITED. We're excited to get back to a simpler lifestyle, back closer to Family and my NC mountains. We love Grenville and the Upstate and we really hope that this is where we call Home permanently.

Now back the blog. The next few posts I'll be playing "catch-up" with some of our activities over the last few weeks.
