Changes Are Coming And We’re Moving To Georgia!

Above is a photo of our home for the last five years. The place where we’ve brought home 2/3 babies, made memories, spent time with family and friends, and so much more is being sold. This has been a tough and major process for us as Mike and I have been truly praying for almost 3/4 years what our next season of life would be. I wasn’t expecting a major move in the plans! We knew that changes were coming and one of them is we’re moving to Georgia! This is a major family faith move.

After a year of connecting and having honest convos about life in this next season, we are officially moving to Georgia! To write this still makes my heart thump out of my chest. We’ve never made such a significant life change, but we know this is exactly what we should be doing.

My heart feels so much as we prepare to move. Even more so as our house has sold in less than three days! Seriously, I’m trying to not ask for a million signs to confirm this transition – but that’s a huge one.

The boys are excited. However, as we discuss it more the reality sets in that we won’t be near any family soon. That’s one thing I’ve been most grateful for over the last several years of motherhood – we have a tribe. Not just a family one, but a close friend one as well. My kids see their cousins regularly and it’s a normal I will hate to see go the most.

One major change as we prep to move is, I won’t be working outside of the home anymore! I know!?! I’m actually going to be staying home and focusing on other areas. I’m extremely thankful that Mike made this a priority as we discussed transitioning out of our jobs and possibly to this new position for him. To know he wants us both to invest into some areas of me personally is a treasure I’m not taking for granted.

We have a lot to pack and sort through, but it’s happening. Some days it’s surreal, while others I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us. This year is most certainly ending with a bang for sure…

  • This time last year, the Lord started challenging the thought of pausing our homeschooling journey. Honestly… I wasn’t happy about it because it wasn’t part of my plan. Even the kids weren’t fully on board at first. 🥹

If I’m being honest, part of me felt like I was losing. Homeschooling isn’t easy, and after years of pouring into our kids, I wrestled with whether putting them in school meant I had somehow failed them.

But somehow through all the emotions, questions, and transitions, we made it through their first year in school.

And wow… proud is an understatement.

Each of them shattered every stereotype people love to place on homeschooled kids. They shined bright, made meaningful friendships, adapted with courage, and walked into new spaces fully themselves.

This year reminded me that what is poured into our kids at home goes with them wherever they go. Everything we’ve prayed over them, spoken over them, and believed about them showed up in real time.

Watching them succeed didn’t make me feel like I had failed. It reminded me that this season wasn’t the end of something. It was evidence that God had been faithful through all of it. ❤️

  • It’s only fitting to have an interview with the Champion 😂 - just in case you’re ready to enter into the pencil fighting ring one day 👀
  • Learned how to pencil fight from what appears to be a retired middle school pencil-fighting champion. His technique was oddly specific… like this man definitely had a reputation in 7th grade 😂✏️

  • Random Friday thoughts… because I can’t shop anyone’s like it at this point 😒
  • Someone recently asked me when I realized I had experienced agape love… and honestly, my first thought was my mom and my sister.

Life has held its share of complicated chapters, and I know what it’s like to navigate distance and hard seasons. Getting older and healing has a way of adjusting the lens. Hindsight really does show you the gifts that were there all along.

This weekend we celebrated my sister’s birthday, and looking back at this photo of us as kids, I’m reminded how precious it is to grow up and realize your big sister is truly your best friend.

Some love doesn’t need to be loud to be deep. I’m really grateful. #sistersister
