"Dear God, Thank you for all the people in this house and for all the people who love me and who I love. Thank you for my Grandmas and Grandpas and thank you for Gail and Lori. (daycare queens!)
Thank you for the food I got to eat today and for my house. 
Please bless baby Kai and help him to feel better. Please bless Lori and help her to feel better too. Please bless my Daddy with his new job. Daddy, why do you have a new job? What are you doing? Will you still have the baseball boys? (I had to interject here and keep her on task)
Thank you for Lucy because she is teaching me to swim and because she said she is bringing me a surprise next week. Momma, can I take Lucy a surprise too? Momma, she said I can call her Luc because we are friends. Momma, did you know that Luc has lots of different swimsuits? I like the red one the best. (Again, interjecting to keep on task). Amen"
It was a crazy week here. Ryan accepted the position as Athletic Director and Assistant Principal for the Davis County High School in Bloomfield, Iowa. The position requires us to move, which is hard since you can tell by the picture above, the basement renovation is FINALLY coming close to an end. And, it seems, just in time for another family to enjoy it! I love this house, the memories that come with it and I will be sad to leave. We are so proud of Daddy though and happy that he is able to put his advanced degrees to great use. So we decided as a family that being together is really all that matters. We can buy another house, find another great neighborhood and hopefully add some great new friends to our extended family, but this family comes first and we are willing to accept that this has all happened for a reason. (Okay, so we don't know what that is yet but I will let you know when we figure it out!) SO--anyone want to buy a house??? :)

Although I'm sad to see you leave, I'm excited for your new journey in life! You'll look back and see exactly what God had in store for you...although sometimes it's not so easy to figure that out at the time! We'll be making some trips to Bloomfield to see our first friends in Ottumwa! Yes, Ryan, you may still borrow the truck to go to Menards. :) Love, Julie
Wow! I wasn't expecting that news clicking over here. What an exciting time for all of you - congratulations! Moves are always hard, but what a great adventure.
Love Zo's prayer!
