Minnesota!

Practice saying it with us....
O---- WA---TONN-----A
Start with saying the long "o" and the rest falls into place!
Small Town...It will be our new home!

We will be packing up and moving to Minnesota in about 4 weeks! Thomas has a new job with Federated Insurance. They take you to a 9 month training program in Owatonna, Minnesota. Hopefully we will be back in Georgia once the training is over...crossing our fingers for the North East Georgia District! That means Dahlonega! But we know that wherever God places us will be the perfect location for us!

We are packing our warm clothes and reading up on what it's like for a northern winter! We are very excited, but also anxious and a little nervous. Remember us in your prayers and we will continue to keep you and yours in ours! Wish us luck!!! Just think! You have someone to come visit in the winter and actually see snow! OR SO WE'VE BEEN TOLD! We will be staying in company housing where they told us they would take care of the sidewalks and roads in front of the house, but that we would be in charge of plowing our own drives. I mean, what does that even mean?! Snow doesn't close the towns down?!?! You have to keep your cars inside the garage or they might freeze over?! Oh me! I think winter will be interesting!!

CAN'T WAIT!! Probably lots of exciting stories, but also lots of learning experiences and knowing us... mess ups! But with God, the love of each other, and the support of family.. 9 months is not that long in the big realm of things. I will hate to say goodbye to my 20 five year old's that have become such an important part of Monday-Friday, but I know that I will have many more children I'll hate to leave or see go to the next grade; however, God is leading us on this path and that we are completely blessed by Him on this endeavor! To God be all the glory!!
