Moving to J-ville, Love and See ya laters...

This has been a post that I could not wait to write... We are moving back to Jacksonville!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We are so excited about this new season in our lives.  This decision has not come lightly.  There has been tons of prayer, council and tears (from me!).  I have wanted to move back to Jacksonville for almost a year now and simply asked Nathan to pray about it and consider it.  I have had the desire to raise our kids around family pretty much since they were born.  And after TONS of prayer everything has lined up for us to move back to Jacksonville.  It is clear to us that God has opened the door for us.  I can't wait to have our family in our everday lives and enjoy the holidays and weekends together.  Family support is something that I have longed for.  Having 4 kids (ages 4 and under)  this is a dream come true for me.  Ya'll get ready to babysit!!!!!  Date nights here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!  (only kidding, but not really!)

We are going to miss our church family more than words can express.  They have become our family, since we don't have family living close by.  We have the most incredible Pastors.  ALC accepted us right away (3 years ago) and has loved our kids and us so much.  We have made lasting friendships there and truly love each one and are sad to move from our church family.  We know that we will visit and ya'll know we are still going on the Marriage Retreats!!!

We have the best friends ever here and love them so much!!!!!  I LOVE YOU SANDY!!!!  I can't spend much time here b/c it's too hard.  The Brownds' have become our family, our support and our best friends. (I'm convince that I can pack you up and bring you with me)   We have had kids together and sooo many memories.  I know that we will come and crash at their house ;)  we'll see if you still love me then! lol  and they will come and visit us.  I have the beach as a bargaining chip!

So I am saying "See ya later!" not good- bye... because we will be back!  And everyone is welcome to come see us in Jacksonville!
