Home Again Home Again....

So today begins a new chapter in the lives of the Pyle family.

After a long drive home from Washington, Jeff and Kirsten made it home safely around lunchtime on Saturday. They were exhausted but other than some snow and the dust storm Kirsten had to drive through in Oregon....the trip went well. We spent the remainder of the weekend sleeping, watching movies and just spending time together.

BUT TODAY......Jeff started his new job!! He called me at lunchtime and said that everyone was excited to have him there. HE was excited too because he got a bunch of new toys! A new desk, chair, computer, monitors....all of that geek stuff he likes so much. ;)

I have gotten so used to Jeff working a couple of states away....or in our living room. Now he is just 20 minutes down the road! I can go have lunch with him if I want!!!

It's so odd. I read the blogs of our friends and everyone seems to be in such defined times in their lives. Dann is single and touring with his band, Kate and Noah are about to be wed, Nick and Brittney have a brand new baby and Kath is in that MOPS stage of her life. Even our kids are in VERY definite stages with Kirsten graduating, Kaitlyn driving on her own and Keaton getting ready to start High School next semester.

AND although Jeff and I could be tempted to feel like we are moving backwards....I don't feel that way at all. We are DEFINITELY in a new phase of our lives....the problem MAY be that we have SO MANY options it could be difficult to decide which way we should be moving. Hence the need for lots of prayer.

For now....I think we will probably just spend some time enjoying a normal schedule and the time we have together. There aren't TOO many times in your life when you get to be in this position!!
