There has been so much going on lately that I feel like our lives are in complete chaos and updating the blog is low on my list at the moment. Then again, there's so much happening that I don't want to forget certain things.
At the end of July, Bobby flew to Arkansas for an on-campus interview at Arkansas State University. He left on a Tuesday, returned home Thursday and was offered a job on Friday. He is going to be their new Director of Environmental Health and Safety. So the Clark Clan is moving to Arkansas at the end of the month!!
We (namely Bobby) had already been packing up our house so we could fix/clean it to put it up for sale. Now we're cleaning, repairing, packing, organizing, painting.... it never ends. On top of all of that we have to find a house to move all of our stuff into. There are several that we're interested in so we'll have to wait and see what will work out and be the best for our family. Chaos.
The kids are very excited about our move. They're sad to leave family and friends but looking forward to a bigger house and a new adventure. Our goal was that Hannah would have her own bedroom before she turned 10 (in January) and we're barely making that deadline. She has repeatedly commented that she'll be glad to be away from the boys. I think she will but I do think she'll miss having the boys in the room with her. Sammy just wants to find a place to do Upward Basketball and a church that has an AWANA program. Amos is just confused. Poor guy. He thinks all of our friends and family will be in Arkansas with us. And whenever we're going somewhere he asks, "Are we going to Arkansas now?"
I'm sad to leave my family. A little panicky about leaving my Mama for sure. But I am very proud of Bobby and very excited for this opportunity for him. It's going to be an adventure and we're going to love it. I'm just ready to be moved, unpacked and settled.
We've been spending every spare minute with family and friends.
Hannah & Shiloh have fun while Sammy is taking his tumbling class.
Amos & sweet Sarah Jayne.
Shiloh & his best buddy Collin.
Oh this kid. I love him!
