So much has happened since I wrote last, but some of it needed to be shared in a timely manner. My husband is a private Lutheran school teacher and when he receives a job offer it's known as "receiving a call", or when a particular private school wants to hire him. After prayerful consideration, you decide if God is puling you towards the position or not.
Andrew's first call out of college was in Springfield, IL, where we spent almost the entire first year of our marriage. His dream was always to end up back in his home town teaching at the school he attended as a child. We didn't plan of this dream becoming a reality for 3-5 years and lone behold, a position opened up in his home town and was offered to him after 1 year in Springfield, IL. After much prayerful consideration and discussion, we accepted the call back to Andrew's hometown of Columbus, IN and had 1 month to pack and move 4 hours away before he was expected to start his new position.
We were blessed to get into the apartment we did in perfect time and we had many wonderful family members helping us unpack! We have lived in the apartment for 2 months now and we decided that renting was no longer economical, so we began looking for a house. Actually, I found a house I liked the first day I went looking and dragged Andrew to see it with me the next day. We put in an offer that day and once we settled on numbers we were given a month to close on the house. Find that post in my Getting it Together Because...We're Buying a House.
Happy Living & God's Blessings!
