Chchchanging

We're moving. Again!!?!? There - I said it before you got the chance! Yes, we've moved a lot in recent years and I've heard it all. "You must be an expert by now", "Can I use ink this time when I write down your new address?", "What! Again?".

I want to say this is the last time. I hope it will be. My desire and plan is that I won't move again - for a very long time. And I am excited and I do believe we will see our plans come to fruition and we will stay. And stay. Be connected, grow deep relationships.

What was behind all that moving? In hindsight, not always the best choices. But a wise friend says, "No one makes a bad decision on purpose". Thank you for that grace. Some of the moves were reactions. Like the time the senior pastor who was our friend and my boss and our pastor had inappropriate feelings for me...and told me. We moved. Following that was the grief and the depression and not knowing how to feel better, and we moved again. Another year+ later we came to Arizona for a fresh start. To the high desert in Kingman, which translates to brown earth, wind, dust, small town and people with no teeth. Had to love that. Being dumped in a church and left to figure it out with no support. And we had a good run there actually. Made a couple of my best friends. Left thinking the grass would be greener somewhere else. Not true then, it usually isn't. Tried a couple of really far-fetched places, sideswiped by Wes' cancer, got stuck, and finally, we move to Gilbert.

Not the land of greener grass and endless opportunities. It's the place we decided will be home. The place where we are choosing to dream big, plan well, move forward and have the life we long for. Connection, fulfillment, fun. We know it will bring new challenges but we are much stronger and wiser and not so easily wounded. We have been through a lot and are not ready to give up on having "the life you've always dreamed of". We welcome your visit.
