Transition

I was waiting/hoping Josh would update the blog with all our news, but here it is:
- Josh got a job in South Carolina (Greenville).
- He'll be working for a company that runs fall prevention programs for elderly people.
- We'll be opening our own practice there in a few months.
- We move on April 5th!
- We're moving in with my parents in North Carolina for a few weeks while we hunt down a place to live. This is slightly more challenging with the dogs.
- We accepted an offer for our house last week and are currently in escrow!
- Josh heads off to Nashville for training later this week!

All of this fell into place in the last two weeks, so it's moving fast to say the least. I am so excited for warm summers and lightening bugs and sweet tea. The list just goes on and on. Greenville is 4 hours away from my parents and 3.5 hours away from my Grandma and 3 hours from my other grandparents, so I'm pretty excited. For me, that's really close. And Ellie rolled over for the first time on Sunday, 3/15! Whew.

It's so amazing to see when things work out so perfectly it has to be a God thing. Last month, we traveled to Greenville for Josh to interview for an associate position. It ended up not working out with that practice. However, just a few weeks later, Josh was offered another opportunity in South Carolina, in Greenville, the same town we visited the month before. Below are a couple of pictures from our original Greenville trip.

A cool park with a suspension bridge, a really cool children's area and in walking distance to the local zoo.



Are we mean parents or what?? We made Ellie sleep in a dresser drawer during part of our Greenville trip. I don't think she minded too much though.




We'll keep everyone posted as often as we can. We're packing and selling stuff around here as fast as we can and dealing with a growth spurt/teething with Ellie. Fun times!
