I am returning after two months of a blogging break. So much has happened that I hardly know where to begin. If you have a blog you probably would agree with me, blogging is much more about getting your feelings out than having anyone read what you write. There is something so beautiful about a catharsis.
Since I last wrote we sold our house, moved (yuck for that process), and have begun building roots in Clemson/Seneca, SC. Oh, I forgot to mention that my valiant husband resigned from a fabulous job and started another great one at Chick-fil-A in Clemson. Our intention in moving here is to give Chad the opportunity to learn everything he can about Chick-fil-A and God-willing be launched into operating his own store in a mystery location one day.
Currently, Chad is spending his days working in the Chick-fil-A kitchen and making runs to the storage unit on my behalf. I have been getting settled into a new home and life AND helping my kids do the same. We have been really enjoying meeting so many wonderful new people and reuniting with many friends that we have known for years. In case you were wondering, Clemson really is God's Country!
I want to tell the story of our home selling for those of you that haven't heard it. It is pretty incredible how God provided for us and affirmed our desire to become a part of the Clemson CFA family. We listed our house the first week of January. We had a few showings every weekend and had a few repeat showings during the time that it was listed. At the end of January, we were trying to make a decision about CFA and knew that we couldn't move forward until our house sold. It was the same weekend that we got an offer on our house. The kicker- we had to be out in 3 weeks because the buyers had sold their house and needed somewhere to go, too! So...we had to find somewhere to live in Clemson. Thankfully, my aunt invited us to live in her basement. It has been incredible! We get to see the sun rise over Lake Keowee every morning, take Jeep rides through the country, and hike as a family frequently. The kids and I are also able to take advantage of all the wonderful family events that the Clemson CFA offers. The lake is a physical reminder of the refreshment I feel when I reflect on what the Lord has done for us already.
