Yup- we have moved! In a span of 3 weeks- Al was offered a promotion at Lowe's, in VA, and we moved to it. Whew! It was crazy busy, but we could never have done it without our amazing friends and family. Here is our amazing story that only God could have written!
Saturday after Thanksgiving- Al is offered the job of Zone 2 Manager in the Prince George, VA store. He accepts. The following day Addie leaves DE to go spend a week at Disney World.
The following Saturday, Al and I are in Richmond, VA house hunting (thank you Mike and Karen for not only a place to stay, but for watching Alden). We look and look, and finally find a house that is actually owned by a man that Al had worked with when we previously lived here! He offers to let us move in asap! The house is wonderful- 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, large storage shed, excellent schools, and SO close to everything!
6 days after looking at the house, we are unloading the moving truck there. During this week, Al has worked Inventory at his store in DE (meaning 11-12 hour days), packing at night, while Lisa and Alden were in NY "babysitting" the Great Grandparents while MarMar and PopPop are at Disney. Wed the Vactioners are picked up at the airport by me. Thur at 4am, I leave Addie, Alden and Kierke with the inlaws, drive to DE, and pack for the next 12 hours- finishing up the house. We load the moving truck Friday morning (in record time- less then 4 hours!) and then drive to VA. Our good friends, Steve and Jeanette helped us- what amazing friends! We unload Sat morning and that evening, Mrs. Wasch (who had been in NJ and met-up with the inlaws) arrives in VA and returns our kids and dog to us.
Sunday- 1 week after looking at "our" house- we are mostly unpacked, and together. On Sunday the heavens opened and it RAINED! We were so thankful to not have needed to unload the moving truck or drive hours and hours to pick-up the kids and dog!
Never would we have dreamed that 1)Al would get this promotion so quickly, 2)we would be coming back to Richmond- an area we love and know, 3)we could pack, move, and unpack in less than 1 week, 4)that we would have our children and dog brought to us from NY, 5)that we would have perfect (albeit cold) moving weather- everything fell into place to clearly and in only a manner that can be explained as God. We love that God is a God of details and are exciting to see what the future holds for us!
