Deluge of Change

Well so we have some news! My preface is...No! I'm not pregnant!
We are moving. This will be move #14 in a little less than 10 years of marriage. And we're excited! We are not moving far...just over the bridge. But it's a whole nother world over there. We got married on that side of the bridge. We're moving to Fort Langley. What bought this about you may ask?
Well we had been tossing it back and forth for about 4 years now...Shaun's parents live there. Well they came to us about 3 or 4 weeks ago and made us an offer we couldn't refuse. We are going to rent to own their house. And if you know anything about this market...for us being self-emplyed...owning a house is a minor miracle. So we are pretty excited about that.
This decision changes several things:
1) I will not be homeschooling the girls as we had thought. They will be going to a phenominal Christian school. We had out interview last week. They wear uniforms and everything! M starts kindergarten in the Fall. I simply cannot fathom that at this point.
2) I am starting a music studio teaching newborn to 7 year olds the introductory parts of music through play. So I will be going back to work. I am actually quite excited about this. I already have my degree in music and I will be starting a 3 month course here at the end of April to get certified in this particular program.
3) We are starting a Boxer kennel and should have our first litter of puppies come fall. This was not something new it's just that it's all happening at the same time. Our girl has to go through a battery of tests to make sure she is breedable. She starts those tomorrow.
4) Shaun has to move his renovation business over to that side.
5) we will be renting out 2 bedrooms to Trinity students. We are looking forward to this experience. It should be fun but it will change how life as our family knows it happens.
6) we will be leaving our fabulous church. Which is the saddest part of this whole thing. We have bee going there for nearly 3 years and we really love our church and are quite involved with and attached to the wonderful family that we have come to know there. We will be going to 2 year old church near our new home.
So as you know there is what seems like a billion details in that list of 6 things that have to get accomplished in the next few months. They are all major things. Starting 2 businesses at the same time and maintaining another one is in itself quite challenging. But we believe that this is where we are to be.
Life IS change. We are people who, for the most part really enjoy change. So we are excited!
