6 1/2 weeks...

...since I last published a blog post. I have good reason, really, and it's not because of cut fingers, excessive attempts to stain cookbooks or too much busyness! It's a different reason altogether, and I must say it's much more significant than any of these options. I would expound on these hints but for now I'll have to succumb to torture via the phrase, "details coming soon." 


The big news (well, not the biggest news) lately is that we are going to be moving to the Lincoln area in the next few weeks. God's opened the doors for us to be living and working at a cutting barn southwest of Lincoln, only about twenty miles from Dad and Mom's house. We're very excited about this opportunity, as we will be able to pursue our dream of training horses full-time and Warren not having to leave to go to work forty hours a week! This is a leap of faith for us because it will take some time to build our business and Warren's reputation in the area, so Warren has been applying for part-time jobs that would bring in a base income until our business is well known. God is leading us every step of the way but I told Warren the other day that it seems like there's a flashlight in front of us on a dark path and all we can see is the next step to take, instead of the big picture. We're both excited to see where our new adventure takes us, and mostly we're anticipating being together more and eventually raising our children with their dad around as much as possible.


Because of these changes, in the midst of Christmas decorating, baking, shopping and planning we're also going to start packing soon! I love this time of year and we've had a lot of chances to see family and friends and enjoy the snowy weather. It has been a wonderful first Christmas season together so far, and it's only going to get better...
