Christmas Gift

As many people know, we have been blessed with a great Christmas gift--a new job!! An answer to our prayers. We really feel so blessed. It has been a very learning and growing last half of the year.

It's a job back in Utah. Everyone knows the saying, "Home is where the heart is." Well, your heart can be in a few places--which makes it all interesting. We are thrilled at being close to our family. Grandparents were in tears when they heard the news (let's face it--they miss their grandkids). Born and raised in beautiful Utah, I have missed family, friends, mountains and the snow. That said, thinking about moving makes me already miss things from the beautiful midwest--the rain, bunnies in the backyard, amazing neighbors and friends.

Something that I have come to realize is that one can find beauty wherever you are--both in the surroundings and the people. We have learned so much while here in Missouri. I'll save that for another post...now, I'm not saying goodbye anytime soon--sorry, Mo friends, you can't get rid of us yet! We're here until the house sells (that's the plan for now). Just wanted to spread our good news and thank everyone for all the thoughts and prayers on our behalf.
