Welcome to our New Adventure

I accepted a position in Montana. I am currently living in Washington so this is my account of the new adventure and changes in my family's life. I hope you enjoy reading and maybe even finding it helpful if you choose to make such a huge change in your life. It may bring to light things that you will need to be prepared for.

God in heaven is our strength, encourager, and guide on this trip. I look forward to His involvement in every detail along the way.

Moving Sale Over and Preparing for Journey

The moving sale is finally over.  That was much more work then I thought it would be.  I am onward to purging things from my home.  Wow, what you collect over the years, can blow you away.  Hidden in the back of all your closets or the dark closets in the attic can be so many things you have forgotten about but never gotten rid of.   This move has already helped us to have a better life, by purging out the excess things from our lives and streamlining our way of living, what a true blessing in its own way.   With five children and hand-me-downs, it seems like I have certainly become a pack-rat.  So no more of this saving everything I touch and own, it is onward towards necessities and the future needs for my family.  

Moving may be a huge adventure, but it certainly has its positive sides.  I look forward to the next few days and seeing our current home unfold into an empty shell for another family to fill.  The next adventure at home will be my sweetheart finishing up the painting, roof, and trim to get the house ready to sell.  I will keep you informed on the progress.  
 
Plus we leave on Thursday to Montana -how exciting.  Looking forward to the trip.

  2. Thank you Colleen ! You are so sweet ! I certainly don't feel like I inspire anyone. Life is so short, and taking risks is so hard. One step at a time.
