I have a feeling I'm going to be posting alot more blogs in the weeks to come as things start to move and change quickly! The first piece of good news/answer to prayer is that Remington called last night and made an offer over the phone to Ryan. The HR Director said that once she told the VP of Marketing that Ryan had another offer already, he made everyone stay late to put something together fast because they really wanted him. That was a huge ego boost for him! Not only did they rush to make the offer, but it was quite a bit more than the first one he'd received and even more than he was making at Rubbermaid. Isn't God good?!?
He still has a few more details to work out with them, but he will be accepting their offer this week. So, that means we will be moving to Winston-Salem! I had the not-so-fun task of calling the school where we had Lauren enrolled for kindergarten to let them know she wouldn't be attending. They were gracious enough to make an exception (due to our circumstances) and refund us the registration and enrollment fees we had paid. They were very sad that Lauren wouldn't be there this year, but I believe that her spot will go to someone who really needs it.
The other answer to prayer is that I called around to 4 different christian schools in the Winston-Salem area this morning...and 3 of the 4 still had openings for their kindergarten class. That was a huge relief to me - and the tuition at all of these schools is much less than we would have been paying had we stayed here. It seems to be just one blessing after another today!! We are hoping to fly my mom out the week after next so she can stay with the kids while we drive up to visit schools and secure Lauren a spot for the fall.
While there are still so many pieces of this puzzle that have yet to be put together, we are so thrilled to know where we are going now. God has blessed Ryan with the job of his dreams and we can already see His hand in this move. All we have to do is continue trusting Him and follow the path He has laid for us.

Holy Cow! That is all great news, but so much at once! Wow! I hope you can come to girls night tomorrow or church or something so we can see you a little before your life gets even busier! I also hope you are feeling better. That hasn't been mentioned in the blog lately, but we are still praying for complete health! It is hard to be a mom and wife when you feel like crud! God bless and Praise Him for His provisions! (BTW, the second move is MUCH easier!) Jen
Whooohooo!! I'm so excited for you guys! I can't wait to tell Jesse that Ryan got the gun job!! : )
I have to agree with the gal above - our second move (within in the same state - just being 4 hours) was so much easier and faster! I'm not sure why - but it really was!
Go celebrate! You have been a patient little family waiting on God's timing!!
We are so excited for you and thankful to an amazing and faithful God. Wish it was Salem Oregon (ha, ha) but can't wait to see what God has in store. Love and miss you!
