The big move!

I'm sure a lot of you have already heard "through the grapevine" that Chandler has accepted a job with a real estate appraiser in Clinton, Mississippi, and he starts in April. We have been praying for this opportunity for a while, and we really feel like the Lord has laid this opportunity in our laps. This man is swamped with business right now (which means more money:) and is only asking for a 2 or 3 year time commitment, after which Chandler is free to go out on his own (which has been his desire). With this opportunity, Chandler can learn the area, acquire clients, and still be ensured a good paycheck until he eventually goes out on his own (whereas if we just moved and he immediately went out on his own--there would be a lot of overhead and would take a lot of money to cover it until he got his feet wet (that would be just a little too scary to go ahead and make the plunge) ;it is just too ideal to pass up! In addition, the Oswalts are already in Clinton, and also we will be 2 hours closer to my family in Memphis! All the positives don't make it any easier to leave, however. It is very bittersweet for us. We will be leaving dear friends, a wonderful church, and great hunting--for Chandler! :-) We will miss everyone here more than words can describe, but we promise to visit, and y'all are always welcome at our home in Clinton/Jackson! Thank you to all of our precious, wonderful friends who have made these last 4 and a half years (and the beginning of our marriage) so incredible!
..............But we're not leaving tomorrow-- oh yeah, if anybody has any boxes; I could sure use some :-)
.............And you know I couldn't resist putting up some more pics of the boys!

Don't let this cute little look fool 'ya :-)
What'd I do?
