BIG news for Daddy and our Family

In February, an opportunity came about for John to interview for a new job with a new company.  The job would mean a move for our family, but it was a great opportunity for John and his career.  He interviewed in late February, but the company moved slowly with hiring anyone, so we didn't hear anything for several weeks.  During that time, we discussed pros/cons and said many, many prayers that we would make the decision that was right for our family and in God's will.  In mid-March, he was offered the position and now we are making plans to move our family back to northwest Arkansas.  We are very excited about the opportunity to move "back home" knowing that we will be so close to our families.  I'm very grateful for the chance for Avery to grow up so close to her grandparents, aunts, uncles, & cousins.  However, I'm heartbroken at the thought of leaving what has become our "new home"...Little Rock has been our home for 10 years now and we have strong ties here.  I have made deep and meaningful friendships here with a group of women that I LOVE like family.  They feed my soul with their laughter, words, sweet spirits, kindness, selflessness, and love for me and my family.  I am already grieving for what I will be leaving here in Little Rock, but I know that friendships like this don't end just because the physical distance between us will be greater.  We will all miss Little Rock A LOT, but we are looking forward to what the future holds for us in NWA!
