As many of you know, we have been praying about moving for a few months now. At first we had no idea where the Lord would send us, only that we were going to move. Just over a month ago Dale started thinking about a place, but we didn't want to say anything until we knew for sure. We have now given our months notice and rented our Penske truck, so I would say it is official. We are moving to Denver, Co.
I have some mixed feelings about the move. I love the brethern there dearly and I am excited to get re-aquainted with them. We have lived there 3 1/2 years total through out our marriage. On the other hand, I feel that my heart is in the Northwest and that it is definately my home. I know God knows best and I can't wait to see what his will is for us there. Knowing the way we move around, we will probably be back in the Northwest someday. Until then, I will miss you all. I feel that we are such a close family out here. We are intending to go to the Oregon campout so I hope to see many of you there for a last goodbye. Just know now, I will be shedding some tears.
Movin' on up

For me this is going to be one of the hardest moves you made because you will be leaving us here.I am just not sure what is going to happen here.But We are definitley starting to do our own pray about a place again.We just don't know how long we can stay with so few.Another family here told us they plan to move by spring.Don't know if is going to be secret for them or not ,but they say there is just nothing here anymore.I have already shed some tears about you leaving .Who am I going to go do little shopping trips with?
I don't want you to move either. Because Denver is far far away.
Nevertheless, Thy will be done I have prayed. His will is not mine I guess since I was wanting you here, but I'm sure it is for the best. I hope that you are the fantastic strength to whoever needs you there, you were a wonderful help to me here when I was in such need. God bless you in your move!
Sigh. At least when you while you were/are in Oregon, you're only one state away from us. Now... all the way in Colorado.
OKAY! Right when I finished typing that, your music says "No matter where I am!"
Anyway, hopefully you will come visit us sometimes. I think you need to visit at least once more before you move so far away. Hopefully it won't be long until you move back. To our assembly, to be exact. But even another one if it's close enough for more visits. I repeat Mom; God bless you in your move.
It will be sad that you will be leaving so many out here who love you, but it is important to follow God's will. I hope that you guys do well out there. We will look forward to seeing you at the campout. Yikes! it's not even that far away! Where has the summer gone?
Chantel,
I for one am very happy that you are moving this direction. However, I do know exactly how you feel about leaving Oregon. Been there, Done that! I am such a coastie. I would move back to the west anytime, my dear husband however, would miss me greatly. So I guess I will just stay here with him.
That makes me sad. Denver is far away. I really am going to miss you guys. West coast get togethers just won't be the same with out you guys! I'm sure the Lord has great things in store for you as you venture into another chapter in your life.... but I will miss you! I am looking forward to the campout, and visiting with yiou there.
Wow I can't believe I hadn't heard about this big news yet; and it is the 11th! Congrats on the big decision being made. I know Sam and I have thought on and off about moving too someday. I'm not as sad about your move as everybody else is. I will probably see you more often. And we've never thought about Denver yet but if we ever move Sam and I aren't set on any place so you never know.
I am sad that you won't be here with me when I have this baby. But I know that you must do what the Lord would have you do. We love you guys and want the best for you.
