A successful new start for Mark

Mark has been welcomed into Northern Virginia. He has reported back with high marks and a 'two thumbs up', that the Asburn, Sterling, Reston area of Virginia is very beautiful and will be a great place for us to move to and settle down for awhile. The kids and I plan to venture up there for a short stay during the kids Spring Break and do a little exploring.
As for Mark's new job with Accenture; he is very pleased with his new opportunity and really feels that his position with Accenture will be very beneficial to his career goals.
Our tentative plan is to all move up there sometime this summer before the new school year starts.  It will be a new and exciting change that we are all thrilled about.  I do look forward to sharing all the new adventures with you as they approach.

Slowly making progress

Okay, I started off this new blog site with a goal in mind and the progress has been very slow. But, I am leaving my self-discovery in the hands of the Lord, for he is the one who knows my heart and will reveal my inner being to me. It is a very true bible verse, but it is hard to take it all in sometimes;
Psalm 139:13-14: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." (NIV)
As I read in another friend's blog, spring is quickly emerging and a sense of renewal has sprung in me. I know that discoveries can take awhile to be found, so thank you for your continued support as I continue to travel in my search for definition.
With that, I would like to give a huge 'SHOUT OUT'to all mothers out there. Being a Mom is really, really hard work. It is for parents in general, but there is this extra bit of responsibility that I think falls on moms. So, all you Moms, know that you are not alone in your ups and downs of raising your children to be unique, well-educated, respectful, obedient, and curious individuals; and the list goes on and on. Praise and prayers to you all.
So, for now, I will let you know that I am aware of new changes within my self. I just cannot define them yet.
