Moving Right Along.

Filed Under Recap

I suppose this blog is in dire need of an update. In a minute you will understand why it has tip-toed its way to the back burner of my priorities.

First off. We’ve had a couple cases of strep and split open heads. Then our house sold after one showing (miracle in this market)! At the time I was on a last minute trip to MO visitin Jeff’s sister. Immediately we had some pretty big decisions to make.

Our plan putting the house on the market was to downsize locally. But in the course of a couple of weeks we realized for business reasons it was important to prayerfully consider Nashville where we used to live. It became clear in a matter of days that our move was to be much greater than a few miles.

We decided to meet up in Nashville at the end of my stay in MO and check out the housing market, pray that God would shut or open doors, etc. Door after door was opened and we found a house.

My last couple weeks (and next couple) have consisted of organizing, packing, planning, etc. WHICH is not easy with a 2 year old, an almost 4 year old, and baby at 32 weeks gestation. Sigh.

Owen turns four this weekend in the midst of everything else. I can not believe how big he is getting and how time is flying. FOUR! no longer a baby.

Anyway, this was very much a little summary of all that has been going on. Prayers would be appreciated. It is so obvious that God’s hand is in this all that I feel I can not complain about all the work. I know we’ll get there. I thankfully already have a doctor in TN (where I had Owen) and can jump right in with her. Things are and will continue to be taken care of! Amen

Holy Smokes! And I was about to give you a hard time for not updating your blog. You sure have been busy. Praying for the best as you move.

Sounds like you’re making good progress on the move, and it is so nice you don’t have to worry about finding a brand new doctor there in Nashville. Hope you’ll be able to find some moments here and there to rest. I know how tired you must be. Praying for you…

i have checked regularly…praying that the lack of blogging had nothing to do with difficulties with baby #3. so happy to hear that God is leading your family down new and exciting paths.

take care of yourself, you little ones and let us know how it all goes!

Glad to hear that everything is going well!!

I was starting to get worried - no blog updates, silence in the Zabs internet world, things quiet with your dad, too.

Such good news, though! Congratulations.

Incidentally, when is your due week? (I thought, for some reason, that they were giving out due weeks instead of due dates these days.)

Ted, being a musician, has always had a little case of the oh it would be fun to live in Nashville. Someday, we will vacation there. It would be fun to see you and the family.

Don’t work too hard and Happy Birthday Owen! Been missing hearing from you, but certainly understand your absence. God Bless you guys!
