Back Home Again in Indiana

Whew! That was a long 3 years (plus a bit more), but WE ARE BACK. HOME. AGAIN! I am so glad to be writing this post and more excited to be able to say that GOD has been SO faithful to cover our needs during this move. When we left Ft. Wayne for a job in Chicagoland in the fall of 2008, we knew that would be a temporary move, but when we moved to New Jersey (exactly a year to the day) we thought that would be our home for MANY years to come (8-10 was my estimate). Immediately we began "throwing down our roots" in a small community in what the locals affectionately refer to as South Jersey. It's true. You wouldn't know it from the news coverage about the "armpit of America," but loys of the middle and southern parts of that tiny state are quite lovely...much like the rolling fields and orchards found in Indiana. Often as we explored on Sunday drives and field trip adventures, I felt like I was back in my native homeland...with the exception of knowing where I was! (Having a GPS is a beautiful thing when you're living new places.) Well, I have some catching up to do and it may take me awhile to get all the photos and entries added. Slowly but surely though I hope to get our blog up to date and eventually have it as a memoir of our comings & goings while living a year in Naperville & 2 in NJ and now during our return to the good old Midwest. It's been quite a journey...but with God all things are [SURELY] possible. -Mark 9:23 (emphasis, mine)
