We're Back!

Well, we finally made it back to the good 'ole USA! And my how we are happy to be back. The trip back was MUCH more difficult than the trip over. I was really expecting it. Gone are the sleepy infant days. We have blazed non-stop into toddler-hood with seemingly non-stop walking and talking! Let's just say the 22 hour trip seemed much more like 44 hours! We were just happy to get back to the comfort of our best friends, CAS and Christy's beautiful house in South Carolina and relax.

We spent several weeks house-hunting and finally decided to build in CAS and Christy's very same neighborhood! So we'll be vagabonds for a little longer but we'll be able in the end to have the beautiful house we want. And since we'll be in South Carolina for some time, it will be worth it.

I just have to mention how GREAT our God is! We began this transition with trepidation, stepping out on faith that God would provide for us. Separating from the Air Force during these economic times and taking only a part-time Air National Guard position was definitely a step of faith. But God has been so good to demonstrate his abundant care for us. Within the first 2 days we arrived state-side, He provided another job for Andrew that is simply perfect in every way. Full insurance coverage, the same salary as we have now, and plenty of time each month for his Air National Guard job. He has worked every detail out with the frustrating separation process and we stand amazed at how the details of our life really do matter to Him! Thank you to all our friends and family who have lifted us up in prayer.

We'll have plenty of pictures to share soon. So stay tuned!
