Almost two weeks ago (on Jacob's birthday) Ryan finally got the call we had been waiting for. Unlike what we thought when we posted last we've been sent south for the winter to Pensacola, FL. In one week we heard the news, took a house hunting trip, had all our belongings packed up, and moved out of our house. This last week we spent our time unpacking and settling into our new place. After being in Limbo for almost 3 months its nice to have a home for the holidays.
We couldn't be happier with our new place. It's close to EVERYTHING, including three playgrounds, Teancums new school, Walmart, Sams, Lowe's and the mall. Add the fact that we're less than 30 minutes from a beach vacation what's not to love. Then there's our kids favorite feature...The backyard compleate with orange trees, slide, swings, and get this... a ZIP LINE. The boys can't stay outside long enough and I love watching them play out of our large kitchen window. The only thing that would make this more of a paradise would be having our extended family closer...we'll just have to rely on the blessings of modern technology a while longer.
We truly have been blessed this past year and especially in our move. I will be forever grateful for the experiences we had in Georgia and the friends we made and had there. I look forward to this new chapter in our lives and seeing how God will continue to direct and bless our lives.
Most of all I'm grateful for this Christmas season and the birth and life of our Savior who came to this earth over 2000 yars ago. Thank God for his live and sacrifice. May peace be in your hearts this Christmas season.

Hey Kirsten,
I just read your news! I'm glad you like your new place. Wow, a zipline in your backyard sounds really fun! You make it sound amazing there, and I wish we could come visit you and have a beach vacation too. :) Sounds like you had a busy Christmas! You are amazing that you were able to keep up the health challenge with all that going on! You definitely deserve to win. Congrats! :)
