Our Move to Columbia

I guess this is a great time to start a blog. We have just been uprooted and replanted in a new place. I am waiting on the Lord to provide the water and fertilizer so we can grow and flourish in this new environment!

Here is the story of why we decided to move:

As most of you know, Chad has been traveling for work a lot. At least twice a week he gets up at 4 am and drives to Columbia for a full day of work. (This doesn't include his additional travel to Charleston, Wilmington, Asheville, Texas, etc. to do his job.) It finally hit us at the end of May that maybe we should consider moving to Columbia. Admittedly, this was a slow process for us since he has been doing that for more than a year.

First things first, we had to sell our house. Well, that was the easy part. One of our neighbors agreed to buy our house, but he had to sell his first. His house closed last week after being on the market a grand total of 3 weeks. Great job Brian! So our house closes this week when he returns from Las Vegas (hopefully with plenty of money).

After looking for a house in Lexington, SC (southwest of Columbia), we decided that the best option for us would be to build through KB Homes. So we are currently living in an apartment until our house is done. Hopefully that will be in 6-8 months, but so far no visible progress on our lot. I will update with pictures soon!

Reagan,
I am so happy to see you have a blog. Now I can link you to my blog. Yep, I have a blog too. God opened a door for me a few months back and I am currently writing devotionals twice a month for two ministry blogs, plus keeping up with mine. You can find my devo's on my blog as well as other things God has given me.

You all look AWESOME.

Hugs & Love,
Aunt Julie
