News

So I'm not pregnant, and we aren't moving anywhere. My news isn't THAT big. Here it is...I'm now 24, I have a new job, and part of my family is moving to Colorado. My birthday was Friday, and it was a good one. We celebrated all day, and I spent some good quality time with family and friends from church. My birthday gifts from Wes and my parents even had a theme to them...fitness. I got a heart-rate monitor from Wes, a new workout top and shoes from my mom and dad, and they are working so hard on getting a Wii Fit for me. Their search has been unsuccessful to this point, but now that I'm on board, we will surely find one soon.

Enough about my birthday. I have a new job. I won't go into all the details and the decision-making process, but I am now teaching 8th grade language arts at the middle school where I interned during my M.A.T. program. It was a tough decision, but I'm pretty excited about the new challenge.

Ok, so the biggest news is that Wes' oldest brother's family is moving to Colorado...next month. Benton has taken a job in Denver, and I am extremely happy and excited for him. If any family is equipped for a challenge and a move such as this one, this family is ready. JB is an incredibly outgoing, loving woman who seeks and follows the Lord's will. Benton is faithful and thinks through every decision. And their kids...they will love Colorado, and I just pray that Whitlee learns the difference between snow and sand soon. :) I have grown closer to this family than I had ever imagined, and I can't grasp right now how it will be not living near them. However, I have kept my relationships with my brother and best girl friends who live far away growing stronger and closer as time goes on. I pray the same for my relationships with Benton, JB, and their kids. Until the move though, I pray that we can enjoy every minute of living in NWA together.
