We're moving AGAIN!!

I know, I know... "You just moved to Newnan!" you say. Well, don't blame me... blame Robins Air Force Base! Way back in April 2007 when Spencer was graduating he applied for a civil service engineering job at the base. He did interviews and everything but when it came down to it they just told us they weren't hiring mechanical engineers at the time. And then a year later, April of this year, when we quit the job in DC to come to Georgia he took his resume out there AGAIN...and AGAIN they said they weren't currently hiring mechanical engineers. Oh well!...We didn't want to live in Warner Robins anyway! (Warner Robins is my hometown for those that don't know) So we took the job here in Newnan, GA and it has been good. Well, about a month ago on the night before we left to fly out for our Utah trip we were up packing and Spencer decided to check his email. In his inbox there was a random email from the Base offering him a JOB as, you guessed it, a Mechanical Engineer! All we did at the time was blow it off and laugh! I was still anti-Warner Robins in that moment. But as we looked over the details of the offer and rolled over all of the possibilities in our head, it just kept sounding better and better and we kept feeling more and more right about it.

So WE TOOK IT!

We're moving back to my hometown of Warner Robins, GA where my parents are and most of my siblings are surrounding! Nothing beats family, am I right?! To add to it, this will give us the opportunity to buy a home, and I can not express how extremely excited and happy I feel about that! Spencer will have much more job security and opportunity for progression by working for the government, and he'll be like a kid in a candy store working with airplanes. His official job title got changed to an Aerospace Engineer, which made him all the more excited. We've been driving the 2 hour drive back and forth to Warner Robins each weekend cramming in all the house hunting we can. The one we found (pictured in the post below) is actually a foreclosure that we'll be putting in an offer on tomorrow. Wish us luck! Do you know that feeling when a weight has been taken off your shoulders? Or like you've been feeling around in the darkness when suddenly the light breaks open in front of you and you can see the path? I literally have felt like I've been in the dark for the past 2 years of my life for various reasons. And now suddenly, since I had that experience a couple of Sundays ago where I felt it whispered in my heart that I do have children waiting to come (see the post below), and that experience combined with the right feelings of this move have just lifted me up and opened my eyes and I have felt so much more understanding and almost a triumph that I made it through that period of darkness in my life. Maybe that all sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo, but that's how I feel right now. I feel happy! I feel like my old self again. Watch out Warner Robins, GA! The prodigal daughter is returning home! The adventure begins November 24th! View Larger Map
