Helloooooooooooooo Dothan!

Since Thursday, you haven't been able to wipe the smiles off the faces around this house!  Know why?  We got the call--Kerry has a job lined up for when he is finished with school!  We are so thrilled!

We had been kayaking the Econfina all day Thursday with my parents.  When we got back to the car to unload and drive back to PCB, both our phones had missed calls from Dothan, AL numbers.  He returned the call, and put it on speaker phone so we could hear the conversation.  Kerry will be working for Flowers Hospital!  Let me tell you, I was DANCING in that passenger seat!  We are one step closer to being done now, and we are both thankful that we will still be close to family.

So of course, typical me, I laid awake most of the night that night worrying about change.  Change is good, but change stresses me out 99.99% of the time.  "We need to find a house."   "How can we afford a house?  We've only rented the entire time we've been married."  "What will I do now?"  "We'll have to find a new church, doctors, friends, etc"  All these things were running through my mind at once!  I always envisioned the day we found out where we'd end up would be a load off our minds, not a NEW load. 

I've done a lot of praying, and I've had Kerry bring the last 2 weeks sermons from church back to my attention (which were both about fear and worry...ironic?).  I've always hated to move, but since we've done it SO much since we got married we should be pros by now.  Hopefully this transition will be smooth, and we'll get to stay put for a long, long time.
