As I sit here in Albuquerque I reflect on the last three whirlwind months since the announcement that Otto would be out of a job as of September 17th. At first the date loomed far in the distant, not even seeming real but with lots of details to figure out. So, we set out searching for jobs; Otto interviewed in Texas, West Virginia, Pennsylvania; talked to recruiters, head hunters and miscellaneous HR departments looking for a job. Last month, our search ended with an offer from a Supervalu DC in New Stanton PA. We wrestled with the idea of leaving our friends and family on the West Coast and Southwest, but felt God was pointing us toward the East. And, as we pulled away from the house on Briles Road, the emotions poured out in salty discharge as the realness set in.
Our outlook all along has been that this is 'an adventure' and that we plan to return to AZ one day, back to the desert, our friends, neighbors and our home.
Well, today is the second day of our great adventure and we leave Albuquerque with renewed energy and anticipation of the journey to Eden Prairie, where our we make our first visit to the kids in their new home.
Thanks to all of you that prayed for us and carried us through these last few months to where we are today!
