Most of you already know that yesterday Ryan officially accepted the offer from SentrySafe in Rochester, NY. He is very excited as it seems like a great family-oriented company and will be step up for his career. They are equally excited to have him join the team and can't wait for him to get started.
From here, things now go into hyper-drive! We are flying up this Sunday-Wednesday to visit and pick a Christian school for Lauren. Then, Ryan will have his first week of work December 13-17th. Then we can enjoy the holidays as a family, but the day after Christmas, we have to take down all the decorations (including the tree) and get the house cleaned up and ready to sell...plus pack up our things to move to New York. We will begin the 12 hour drive on Wednesday, December 29th (both cars, the kids and our cat).
Once we arrive, they are providing 60 days temporary housing in a Residence Inn. If our house hasn't sold at the end of that time, they will pay for us to live up to 6 months in a rental property. And, of course, once our house in North Carolina sells, we can begin looking for a new home in New York.
The kids are taking all of the change very well so far. It really helps that Lauren is such an easy-going girl and that she has a strong walk with the Lord. She has expressed her fears and sadness, but she also trusts in her Savior...as do we! We are doing our best to view this move as a great adventure (even though none of it makes sense to us right now)!!
Thank you to everyone who has prayerfully supported us through this time of unemployment - we are grateful for each one of you! We will be sure to post new address and phone information as we get it and lots of pictures of our new city!

They are taking such good care of you guys already! That has to be a good feeling. Now we just need to get your house to sell!
I have a cousin that lives in upstate NY and she loves it! I can't remember what city - I'll have to ask her. She is a big outdoor person and does all the skiing, white water rafting, etc. So if you are into that stuff - I'll have to hook ya up. : )
Oh and Rachael Ray has a home in upstate NY. So if you run into her you are in big trouble with me! ; )
Enjoy your special time even though it is feeling stressful! So proud of Lauren for being such a trooper! What a special girl you guys have!
Now you are going to have to buy boots, and leggins, and long underwear! Teehee!
Congrats! God bless and enjoy! What an adventure.
