Our church has been going through some restructuring over the past year, & as part of that process, decided to reduce to one full-time pastor. So, Chad has received a job offer at a church in Lacombe, Alberta, & we decided it sounded like a pretty good move for our family. We are ready to give up the city life & try our hand at country living for awhile!
The kids are really excited to have more room to explore, & trees to climb. They are already trying to talk us into buying ATVs for them. We're moving farther away from my parents again, but they had 4 years, & they like to travel, so we're just giving them the opportunity to explore a new area! We'll be about 4 hours from Chad's family, so it'll be nice for the kids to be closer to their cousins too.
Now comes the stressful part. Getting the house ready to sell, going to look for a new house, getting the kids registered at the new school, getting moving quotes (I'll tell you what company we're NOT using!), & figuring out all the logistics! Our goal is to be there by Christmas, but how we'll manage that is yet to be seen. I foresee a busy few months ahead, but it will be worth it! I really enjoy setting up our home when we move, it's just getting to that point that isn't always fun. Especially once the house is for sale & you have to keep cleaning all the things!
