Workin' hard & staying busy while we are apart.

It has been 2 weeks since Chris left for Tennessee. Although the separation has not been ideal, it has been less painful than was expected. We must be being blessed. Chris is working hard in Tennessee, working a grave yard shift for the past two weeks. I am staying busy remodeling the other half of our basement, last year we remodeled the mother-in-law apt. in our basement.

I have also stayed busy selling our home. We will have it under contract this week, and anticipated to close by the 15th of August! So we are praying for a miracle that we will find a job and a place to live that fits our criteria VERY SOON! Chris is starting his job hunt Monday, July 16. He has 9 interviews set up with different potential employers. Some in Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri. He loves what he has seen so far in the Mid-west and has informed me that he is 100% committed to moving to a small rural town. I, on the other hand, still love the idea of moving to a small community and have a farm, however, I will admit I am not excited about moving 20 plus hours away from my family and friends. It will be a great adventure but at a great cost of leaving so many people I love dearly. At the same time however, I know that it will all work out for the best and I look forward to our next few months. Chris is planned to return August 3rd. Less than 3 weeks to go! :)

I don't want you to move that far away! I wish life wasn't so complicated, and I enjoyed you more when you were close. Either way, I love you and will come visit!
