New Digs for Jeff, Cherie and Penelope Ann...

We have put our deposit on our new home!   WOOT.  We are just renting...of course.    We are excited!   We will be able to move in on the 15th of July.   I will be in the same ward as I left from 8 months ago.  Hopefully, I have many friends left and they will be nice and not think I am a burden.   UGH.    We hope to have Jeff working in Fort Wayne by then...if not, we may not leave here until the week later.   Jeff has a few prospects, one he has been asked to send more information.   We are hoping that is a good sign.   Pray for us, please.   IF this job would work out, it would be the first time Jeff has actually been excited about what he will be doing.   He would have opportunity for growth in the future and be able to use his degree!  WOOT!!!  We are so hoping they give him a chance.   We have gone through a bunch of hard times...this will hopefully be the last of the finances being so tight.  
We are looking forward to being closer to family and friends.   We are SOOOO looking forward to being home again...where we laid roots and left them.    We will miss our family here.   UGH.   It has been so wonderful being near Shawna, Pat and their wonderful girls.   We LOVE them sooooooo much.    It has been a blessing to be near Jeff's mom, as well...perfection isn't far from her.   She has just a few flaws keeping her here...we are soooo glad for them, whatever they are.   We love her sooo much.  Hopefully, if all works out we will be able to afford to visit more often.     Happy and sad days ahead. Thank heaven for the telephone and internet.

Hey! Best wishes for a safe and fruitful return to Hoosier land!!! We'll be praying that jobs and all work out for you two. The Lord has the power to consecrate all of our struggles for our benefit. I love that word-consecrate. He doesn't cause our problems, but he will help us use them to develop ourselves into the people we want to be. Love you guys!!!
