There is a lovely couple at our church who introduced me to their daughter Amber sometime ago. She and her family live in the Chicago area and Amber's mom (Judy) wanted us to meet because she thought we were alike and would click. Amber and her husband stopped at Starbucks the other day, as they were in town for Old Fashioned Days and to visit (I think) with family. We are facebook friends and have been communicating through comments and status "likes." She does not realize this because we really don't talk but Amber has been a great encouragement to me as of late. Knowing I have someone in the area who shares in my faith and seems to be amazing makes the move feel less lonely. I know that this move will be difficult on a lot of people because change is just plain hard. At times I feel I romanticize this move simply because I desperately need a change at work. When it really comes down to it, I know that a part of me will be broken hearted... because we may not come back. We have no idea what the future holds.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for providing for my every need... and for loving us through friendship. Thank you for Amber, who though I barely know her, has encouraged my spirit leaps and bounds. It seems Your gracious Love knows no limit.
Oh how He loves us.

You are very lucky, Amber and her whole family are super nice people. Her brother in law is Patrick Clements, the kid that I was friends with in high school, and their whole family is wonderful. I believe that the family lives very close to them as well. I'm glad she will be there for you.
I don't like this talk of not coming back, it seriously makes me miss you. =(
By the way, I have Monday, Friday, and Saturday morning free next week. I think a Teavana trip is so necessary. =)
