Once again I'm writing on my blog. I would like to discuss our new move. We have decided to move to Clark Summit PA and Richard will attend the Baptist Bible Seminary. We are planning to move the middle of November. That is about all that we know for sure. Housing and jobs, and how to get there are all just good ideas right now.
What should we do? Should we pull a trailer with Richard's 1991 Ford Ranger and me drive our car following him with the possibility that not all of our stuff will fit in the trailer and the weight of the trailer not being very good on his old truck? (We are kinda nervous about pulling something too heavy over the mountains and so far with his truck) Or should we rent a Penske truck (the seem to be the cheapest truck rental) and a car dolly? For sure all of our stuff would fit in to a truck because we would have to rent a 16' truck to pull our car. Then I would drive our truck behind Richard.
Once we have the car thing figured out then how should we make the trip? Richard thinks it will take about 30 hours. We would like to drive over the mountains and stop in Denver and say goodbye to his brother and family and his sister. Then we would like to stop in Cincinatti and visit my sister. But we have the drive from Denver to Ohio that would be really long. Where should we stop in between? We think that we want to make it in 4 days. From Ohio we are thinking it will only be about 7-9 hours.
These are all things that we are considering right now. We do just need to sit down and put together a plan looking at mapquest and stuff. We have researched rental trucks and stuff. I'm not looking forward to driving all that way in separate cars but that is what we have to do.
We are very excited about this move. It is very exciting to start all over again together after living here for a while married. It will be so good for us to look for our own church and decide on one together for all the right reasons. I'm looking forward to and anxious about where we will work, live, and who we will be friends with. It is so exciting to do something like this.
But at the same time we are looking into a year internship. Richard says, "We are moving to seminary and filling out an application for a year internship in Ecuador at the same time, Who does that?" Well if you think about it you can pray that we will follow God's leading. I have complete confidence in God and that he is guiding us for all of our decisions in the future. We are just excited!! I just wanted to write another post here letting people know what we are doing these days. Conversations of what is the best thing to do and such have filled our lives these days. :-)

Wow looks like a lot of changes are going to be happening in your lives. Changes are exciting as well as hard at times. It looks like Tim and I will be having to decide what to do next year as he is finishing up seminary this year. I am not good with change as I love to have everything planned out in life not wanting to have to wait on it. It looks to me you are at the waiting part to see how the Lord will put everything together for your lives. This is a gret time for you both to grown and learn to trust in an all-wise God who knows what is best all the time!! Keep us posted on how the Lord leads in your life. I will try to remember to pray for you all.
we are praying as God leads and guides you - these are exciting times as you follow Him!
Jess, I just have to tell you that when Dave and I moved from Boston to LA with all our earthly possessions, it created some of our favorite memories so far in our marriage. Take your time, enjoy seeing the country and being together, who knows if you'll ever have a chance to do it again. Luv ya!!!
