It is with mixed emotions that our family will be moving to Midland in the upcoming month. One thing I have learned is that God’s timing is always perfect and His ways are higher than our ways. Chad wasn’t looking to move or change jobs, but a great offer kind of fell in our lap. I was reminded at church just last night that even though change is all around us, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!! So, we will trust in Him and in the direction He is taking us. All of that said, we will still be so sad to leave our family, friends, and church family here. As I am not one to be a “spill your heart” type blogger….today I will share a few things simply because it helps me come to grip with the things happening. As we have told our family and friends that we are moving I have made sure to sound strong and sure of our decision. While I know it is the Lords plan for us at this time….I also don’t want to appear weak or scared. I think maybe people even thought I was glad to be going….this is not the case. So here comes the Cheesy part ( I know….if you must just scroll to the bottom and look at more photos…this will be over shortly)
Things I will miss~
being able to just stop by moms unplanned to say hello.
having mom a street away to dump my kids on when Chad and I just want dinner alone
dad- this guy comes in pretty handy pretty often
My “old lady” friends at the Church a.k.a. my sweet friends that are old enough to be my mom….ha!
coke dates with these girls after church till all hours of the night
walking through the grocery and recognizing most faces I pass.
being able to ”hide” our messes upstairs while the downstairs looks like we somewhat have it together ;)
hearing pastor Burns preach each week (really he is amazing!)
making prank phone calls to CW….I guess I can still do this one!
pedicures with Janet
movies with Kati and Jessi

As far as my photography business, I will continue to come to levelland for shoots. I will schedule my appointments on the days and weeks I plan to be back. So keep calling me If you have a wedding booked for 2010 I will be in contact with you. I will not charge travel fees to and from Levelland.
