Hey guys (and gals)!!!!
Well as you all know by now, David and I have moved!! A HUGE blessing this Christmas season, but a pain in my hind quarters at points! David and I began a housing search at the beginning of October that we kept quiet from most people. We felt the need to move from the place we were living into something better suited for our needs. We notified a few people that we were going to be moving and that we were very uncertain about the time frame due to finances and the typical lack of housing in Knoxville. After all, this is a college town, and the likely hood of finding someplace to move into quickly and CHEAPLY was very small. Needless to say God proved faithful and proved to us that if we trust him to handle things, our life is simply made richer. We chose to stay in West Knoxville due mostly in part to this is where we live out our day to day lives. I work right across the street and David works about a ten minute drive away. Our church is about five minutes away, and every activity imaginable is located within a fifteen minute drive from our apartment! What couldn't be more perfect about these living arrangements?!
We packed rather quickly and with the help of some friends we had most of our belongings moved within a matter of hours!! How cool is that?! Of course life has been rather chaotic since the move, but we are slowly settling in and enjoying our new home! (Pictures will follow once we are all unpacked!)
Of course life has been hectic in other ways for us too. David is almost done with school for the semester and that makes for a busy time for both of us! I, of course, work in retail and can not even BEGIN to tell you how hectic that is!! There are days I come home from work and shut off simply because that is all I can do. I am ever so grateful that my spouse understands this and does not pressure me to talk about it to death. Of course he is always there to listen when I need to vent, and for that I am grateful too! We a blessing my husband truly is!!
As with every closing of each post, we are asking for prayer! My dad had gallbladder surgery yesterday and we ask for quick healing! Dad has had a rough month physically so we are also praying that we can get these few bumps in the road out now so that next year will be smooth for him!! :-) We also ask for prayer with grandma! She returns to the doctor at the end of the month for a follow up visit concerning her surgery. Please pray that everything goes smoothly with that!! And finaly we ask for prayer concerning David's last few weeks at JBC as a full time student! This is a bittersweet time in his life and also a very hectic one! Pray for a smooth transistion into what God brings for us next!! :-)
