We got a job!!

{7/11/2013}

Yes - for journaling purposes, I am trying to keep this in order.  Shawn had an interview with Keene State College this week.  He flew out on Monday, July 8th, interviewed on the 9th and came home on the 10th.  He felt really good about the job, the people he would work with and the school.  However, he had felt really good when he interview for Weber, Dixie State and UVU as well.  Apparently, the Lord did not want us back in Utah at this time.  Shawn had made many other applications, and Keene State was one of the few that lead to a 2nd interview.  There was another one in Georgia, at Gordon State, but we didn't feel good about pursuing that interview.  On the 11th, we were offered a job a Keene State College!  HOORAY!!!

We had always known that our time in Athens was coming to an end.  We had always known that we were moving at the end of July, August 5th, to be exact - but we didn't have a job.  Until NOW!  It is with excitement, nervousness and definitely sadness that our family accepted this job and choose to move NORTH, to the cold, snowy part of the country.  We did our best trying to get back out west, closer to family.  Would you believe that 5 different Universities in Utah were highering for Math Education this year?  That's a lot - so we were sure, one of them would work out.  When it didn't - we kept our heads high and moved forward with faith, that the Lord would send us, where we could help strengthen and serve.

So, Keene State College it was.  I was excited to go to New Hampshire and have to opportunity to explore the north-east.  But wow!  We have 3 weeks to pack, cancel all utilities, find housing, move, and register the kids for school.  Ready...Set....Life is suddenly turned upside down - but we are grateful! 

We are ready for another adventure!
