A little catch up

I really should be cleaning right now, but....that just isn't any fun.

The reality of us moving to Arkansas is becoming real. Actually, Jason started his job last week and the girls and I are heading up in the next few days. I am excited, and sad, and a bit nervous. There have been quite a few tears & part of today I had that anxious feeling in my tummy. However, the Lord's peace has prevailed throughout this journey.

A couple of weeks ago one of Jason's best friends from Seattle flew in to surprise Jase before he headed off to AR. It had been planned for 3 weeks and Jason had not even an inkling of it happening. On the way to the restaurant I had to keep myself from grinning from ear to ear so I wouldn't give anything away. Little did Jase know that I had a bag already packed in the back of the oh-so-cool mini-van. We ate dinner with my best friend and half way through in walked these guys... McKibben, Rusty, Snyder, Dave, my man & Chris

These are some of the best friends that Jason has ever had. These are men I prayed for my husband to have when he was 15 and long before we were even married. Jason was so surprised and still couldn't put the pieces together even after they walked in. After dinner they left and hung out with even more friends for the night. I love these men!

This past weekend I completed my first 5K. No, it's no marathon, but for me it's an accomplishment. It was something I had put down to accomplish this year and when my dear friend Lauren suggeested doing the Susan G. Komen run and having a Gracious Legacy team, I jumped on it! Like our shirts?

Here is almost our entire team. It really was a treat to run my first with these precious people. I can proudly say that I jogged the entire way, albeit not a neck-breaking speed! I am also happy to report that Gracious Legacy will continue here in Dallas and also have a branch up in the lovely state of Arkansas too.

Please keep us in your prayers (especially this mom who has developed the spiritual gift of crying over the last few years). We are so thrilled to see what the Lord has in store for us in this next chapter of life but it's also so hard to leave people we love so dearly!
