Florida or Bust - AGAIN!!! :)

well - some of you have heard the news, but for those of you that haven't - we're moving to florida once again. but this time not to a thriving metropolis - this time its a small town in northern florida about an hour from orlando and tampa. we weren't looking to move, but our former administrator called us and offered us both positions. so we went down to look and loved it. its a perfect small town to raise a family in and settle down. we're really hoping that this is our niche. :) the school is inverness christian academy (that's the town its in) and the church is fort cooper baptist church. the school is small but growing and so is the church. the other benefit is that we could buy a house and afford it. the houses that we were looking at up here were 200,000 and the ones down there we were looking at were 140,000 to give you some perspective. anyway we're really excited about it. and it looks like we're moving right after school is out at the beginning of june. (yes - before my birthday which i'm not too happy about.) we have to get down there so that we can start working for the summer. so i thought that i would post some pics of the school and church and our favorite house that we looked at.

this is inverness christian academy - the facilities are really nice!!!
this is the entrance to the church - fort cooper baptist church
and this is our favorite house - its on a cul de sac with no other houses around it. its got hard wood floors and 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. and its only 141,000. so if you think of it you could be praying for us as we go about telling the people here at concord and as we make plans to move down there this summer. also be praying that the Lord works out our housing situation so that we have a place to move into when we get down there!

so that's our exciting news - florida or bust! once again (and this time with an overactive hyperenergetic dog. if you have suggestions please feel free to share :) )

That is neat how the Lord directed you back to Florida! Wow, 2 big moves in less than a year. You are a brave woman! I am sure that must be a good feeling to have found a place that you can settle down in and have a family. Best wishes to you as you pack up and head south! We will pray that you get your house!
