Fresh Start

Where to begin....

Many people think we are crazy for considering a relocation. For us...it is something Scott and I have thought long and hard about for a very long time. California is a beautiful state. We are located in such a great area; 45 minutes from the mountains and 35 minutes from the beach. The problem is not the beauty, the problem is the economy and the direction of this state.

We know the move will be a challenge and I'm sure we will question whether we are making the right decision. We just know in our hearts that we do not want our children to struggle in a state that is going no where. To give you an example, California has the second highest unemployment rate in the country! That explains why Brandon has been looking for a job for over one year!

So the question remains...where will we end up? We have narrowed our selection to three places; North Carolina, Virginia & Tennessee. Each place has pros and cons. The benefit is Scott has a job option in each place. North Carolina and Tennessee top our list for me because of my chances of getting a good teaching position. We are still weighing our options.

To be continued....

How exciting!! I am thrilled for the opportunities God has before you. Our move to MT was the best thing for our family. I will pray for you to have wisdom to know exactly the details as He desires you to know them!

Love,
Terri
