It finally came. The acceptance letter we have been waiting for made its way to our mailbox and we officially will be moving to Conway, Arkansas. As soon as Evan got the letter he called me, then said, "I think we should go for spring break."
So we packed up the car and headed down to Arkansas. The drive was not that pleasant going down. We decided to leave Friday night after work so we could get there in time for a job fair for the local school districts. Well, we both worked all day and were exhausted which meant two hour driving shifts in the middle of the night. However, the drive back (when we left in the morning after a full night's sleep) was much better. Tennessee is a beautiful state to drive through and comprises at least 10 of the 15 hour drive.
Anyhow, we spent a long weekend in Conway looking at houses and apartments, and the school, and of course trying out local restaurants. We discovered there is a lot of real estate available, and many houses for rent as well, all within a reasonable price, especially if I get picked up by a school district (fingers crossed!) Conway is a small city, but it's cute, and clean. I think we will be able to make a good life down there for the next five years.
It's still surreal that we have just over three months left in Richmond, but so exciting that we will be able to move on to the next chapter of our lives!!

About Us!
We were married in May of 2010.
2011 brought us to Arkansas where Evan dove headfirst into graduate studies while I continued to hunt for a job and learned how to be domestic.
2012 helped us learn to adapt and thrive, as we gained our footing and planted roots in Arkansas.
2013 taught us the importance of patience and perseverance as we learned how often Heavenly Father pushes us to unlikely circumstances.
2014 holds the promise of continued blessings.
"Faith in God includes faith in His timing."
