Changes...

I love fall!! I don't think I can get enough of the cooler weather, with the changing leaves and cool nights with nippy mornings!! I love it! This year along with the changing season for fall, our lives are making some pretty major changes as well. First off a new baby around Thanksgiving will change the dynamic of our lives forever. I'm nervous to handle it all, but I rest comforted that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. I'm so thankful Mark and Cindy will be coming out Thanksgiving day and staying a week to keep the girls while Andy and I are in the hospital. And after they go back home my mom will take time off to come down and help.

Another big change is Andy's job. He accepted a new position at the Hudson plant closer to our house. All this in result of the "Green Colorado" bill passed by our ridiculous mayor which requires the elimination of all coal plants in Colorado in the next 7 years. Anticipating the required job transfer, Andy went ahead and put in for this plant. He starts training in November and will be at the new plant in November. He's excited as am I, but I know there will be a few adjustments to be made along the way.

The last big change for us is my job. I have LOVED where I have worked the past 2.5 years. The company has been amazing to work for and I love their mission. However, they will be moving further away this spring. Which would make for an extremely long commute. So in light of that and the new addition to our family, we've decided to become a single income family....SCARY!!! I've been praying for God to help us make the transition and bless our efforts as we remain faithful and listen to His instruction. There's something scary about leaving your job..I'm sure is is fear of income loss(which is always scary no matter who you are), but mostly I think it's fear of security. Just having that second job for insurance/back up purposes was a security blanket for me. I've never NOT worked so this will be an entirely new territory. Don't get me wrong, I'm so thrilled to be able to stay at home with the kids as a full-time mommy. I'm just struggling with my worrying tendencies. I rest assured God was not taken by surprise with any of this and I know He promised to be never leave us and watch over us. It's just telling myself that over and over and over so it will coat all my worries with His peace:)
