Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Things have been crazy here for us the last few weeks. Marland had his last official spring break and we spent it driving back and forth to WV, OH and KY. He interviewed with two judges around where I grew up in WV which is crazy but he really wanted to try for this awesome work opportunity for him. I'm happy to say that Marland is officially hired and we'll be living in WV for the next two years! Never thought I'd be saying that!!!
I've said it several times, "We'll never live in WV" or "There's no way I'll move back there!" Well all I can say is be careful what you say because you never know what God has planned for you. For us, apparently God has plans for us in WV. Don't get me wrong I love WV and think it is BEAUTIFUL but I just didn't think our family would ever be there. I'm so excited for him and this amazing opportunity! He has worked really hard and deserves this job. It's a two year position working with a judge. It's a great opportunity for him and our family and has a great set up for us as well. We couldn't be happier spending our next two years there. I'm so happy that Josiah will have the chance to become really close with his family and my friends while we are there!
I'm stoked to be living next to family! It's bitter sweet for me though because I've found some great friends here in Columbus and a good church family. I've really grown a lot while being here and feel that this is a great place for me to be but I know that it will be fine being close to home again. I'm glad that I've matured while being here and I can go back there with a different outlook on life and hopefully I can find some good friends there too that share similar values as I do. That is one thing I am nervous about moving there. I know what it's like and I've heard it's not getting any better so I just hope I can stay strong while we are there and hopefully have a positive influence on others while I'm there too. I'm glad I have some great friends here in Columbus that I can come back and visit!
Here are some pictures from our spring break...
