there's no place like home.

We are moving! Kansas City here we come...

(on one of our many trips to KS this past year)

At the end of January we are heading west. This is such a blessing for us! There is a lot we like about Pittsburgh but there is so much in Kansas City that we have missed dearly.

We had anticipated for a while to move back and prayed that a job would open up for Matthew. One did, he interviewed this past July, and he was offered a position in December. He will start in February! We are so thankful for the opportunity he will have to continue his career and know that he will be working for an awesome company. It is also our hope that this move will allow me to find a teaching position. I have kept my teaching license current in Kansas so I will begin substitute teaching when we move.

God never ceases to amaze us and we have learned so much in the past year and a half that we have lived away from family and friends. While there have been moments that were not so enjoyable and many tears, we have laughed a lot and experienced things we would not have had the opportunity to had we stayed close.

We have learned lessons of patience and trust.

We have learned about gratefulness and love.

And most importantly, we have learned that God's love for us never fails and that His timing is always perfect.

(p.s. the new blog background fits what's happening this year with moving to kansas city (i.e. sunflowers)!)
