We're moving on . . .

It's official. We're moving to Milwaukee this summer. Today I officially accepted Marquette University's offer for admission to their doctoral program in Religion. I also officially submitted my letter of resignation resigning my position as Resident Director of Melrose Hall for the 2007-2008 school year. It's bittersweet, though I'll save being sappy about leaving Jewell for a later post.

It feels good to know what our family will be doing next year, even if there are still a lot of questions up in the air. Somewhere around my junior year of college I decided that I wanted to teach Religion/Ethics at a college or university. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to move forward on that dream. I am blessed to have a husband who is very supportive and encouraging in this endeavor. He gives me vision and courage . . . I'm thankful for him. A while back I was visiting with my friend, Samantha, whose family is also making some major life changes. Samantha made the comment that it is nice to know that we are still able to chase dreams. It really is.

Now the fun begins of finding a job for Travis, a school for Grant and Sophia, a house (after seven years of apartment living, I'm particularly excited about this one), . . .
