relocating

We are moving to Shreveport, LA! Scott took a job with the same insurance company he's currently with and he starts November 1st. I, however, will remain in good ole T-town til baby Wenzel arrives. I would love to go ahead and get settled in down there, but for financial purposes it's best for me to stay here and finish out my job and use the maternity leave they provide. I won't be able to transfer with my job but that is okay by me. Not to sound ungrateful, but I look forward to doing something else. Rather it be in banking or elsewhere, we will see.

We are planning on renting out our home and buying one in the Shreveport area. We've looked in Bossier City, Haughton and Benton. We are open to living on the outskirts, but once again, we will see. I'm on the waiting list for 4 different day cares. One in Bossier, Shreveport, Haughton and Benton, because I don't know where we'll live or where I'll be working I've got to be sure I have the whole Shreveport/Bossier area covered.

Thank God for family.

My Aunt and Uncle who live in Shreveport have offered for us to stay with them for as long as we need to. They have two girls, Lara and Jessie, who are off at college so they have the extra space right now. Scott will stay with them while he's there working and if need be me and baby will be there shortly after it arrives. This is our first answered prayer of many. Where God leads, he provides. This is what I have to keep reminding myself to keep from stressing. Stress is the last thing I need to have right now. Of course naturally I get a little emotional thinking about leaving behind our house we've made a home and our amazing friends and family, but I know God has great things planned for us. On the other hand, it's exciting thinking about new jobs, new house, new church and of course new baby!

Speaking of baby Wenzel... I got some pretty cute baby bedding at Target Monday! I'd been eye balling it and told a friend about it. She called Monday and said they had it on sale and only one set left so I asked mom to go snatch it up ASAP and I love it! It'll be fun decorating with bright colors and really whatever I want since it's not "theme". Which I'm totally NOT against, I actually like, but this was just too good of a deal to pass up. This is going to be our bargain baby. Lots of financial changes coming up! I'll have to take a picture of it and post later because it won't let me save the picture from the website.

Stay tuned for a week 20 prego photo! (probably coming Saturday!) I can't believe I'm already half way there. Exciting and scary! Kinda like everything else in my life right now. :)
