WE ARE MOVING...to Nashville, TN

As I hinted in my previous post, Josh, Sophi and will be leaving Pasadena.  We will be moving to Nashville, TN!! Josh has been offered a full time faculty position at Lipscomb University where he will be an Assistant Professor in their College of Bible. We are SOOOOO excited to have this opportunity, a dream come true, and looking forward to all that God has in store for us there.

Josh does not start teaching until August but because we have sold our house (another HUGE blessing) we have to be out of our Pasadena home in three weeks!

Josh and I, along with the help of my parents and our wonderful realtor, spent the last week scouring Nashville in search of a house for us to call home. After looking at upwards of 15 houses a day for several days straight we were able to narrow down and come a final decision and made an offer, which was accepted! We will be building a new home in a Brentwood area neighborhood called Whetstone. We are ecstatic about our future home and can't wait to watch it grow before our eyes!


(Our Lot)


(What our house will look like when it is completed)

Our new home will not be completed until the end of October so we are preparing to be nomades for the next several months. After moving all of our stuff across the country and into storage we will head down to Florida where we will spend June and July at my parents beach condo (such a hard life, we know!) then we will return to Nashville where we will live in an apartment of some type for the next several months until our home is completed.

Although this week has been exhausting both physically and emotionally we are overjoyed with the outcome and can't help but feel so incredibly blessed. We are so thankful to God for the abundance of blessings He has given to us and look forward to all he has prepared for us in this new chapter of our lives!

We covet your prayers during this time for all members of our family (even little Shiloh) as we make this big transition. We pray for wisdom, grace, peace and joy as we move away from what has become our home and family (the place where we met Sophi for the first time) into the change and newness of our Nashville home. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!

Michael and I looked at that neighborhood before we decided to buy somewhere else. I'm sure you'll love it there. Congrats!
