Our Last Week

We are currently in New York as I write this! The company Ryan received an offer from in Rochester flew us up for the weekend to check out the area as a family. The kids did fabulous on both plane rides and everyone is napping now, except for me because I am sick and cannot sleep! After this weekend's little adventure, we will drive to the airport in Rochester and Ryan will board a flight headed to Oregon, while the kids and I fly home to Charlotte. He is being flown back out to Portland to have final interviews with Danner (and we are hoping/expecting that they will be making him an offer).

This coming Thanksgiving week is our last week of living in the unknown. We honestly can't say which job we will take because we have no clue! We continue to wait on the Lord's leading and will only go where He tells us to. We have been praying so much for this as a family and as a couple. But, I have encouraged Ryan to spend some time on his own, fasting and praying by himself. So, he is going to take a trip up to Crowder's Mountain next week to hike and pray and seek God's will.

Our hearts desire is to be with family again someday, but with the job in Oregon requiring 50% or more travel time for Ryan, we are not sure if this is the right opportunity to move back for. I have already gone through my grieving process, so to speak, and will be prepared if NY is the job he takes. Even though it will mean starting all over again in a new town where we don't know a single soul...we are confident that God will provide for us, as He always has.

We ask for your continued prayers for our family and we will let you know once a decision has been made!!
