Finally after 8 months I was offered a job. I will be a Client Services Associate for Bayada Nurses in Charlotte. Many thanks go to a friend of Mike's from Wilmington who helped me to get my foot in the door, I can't thank her enough. I start my new position on September 10th. With that being said, I have lots to do to pack up the house this week and get ready to move to Charlotte next Sunday.
Other big news would be that the house is under contract! We are set for a closing date of September 26th. We decided to try selling the house "For Sale By Owner" first and that is how it sold. The 4th person who came to look at the house decided to put an offer in. So please say prayers that this process goes through flawlessly.
Thank you all for your prayers over the last 8 months. Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I continue with many new chapters in my life over the upcoming months. I will miss all of my friends here in Raleigh, but know that I will be back, and you all have a place to stay if you come to Charlotte to visit. The door is always open!

Charlotte Bound!
Let me start by saying Thank You all for your thoughts and prayers for the job situation over the last few months.
Over the past 2 or 3 months Mike and I had decided that we wanted to move. We talked about Greensboro first, then we considered Charlotte as well. I interviewed at a couple of businesses in Greensboro, then started emailing reps that I knew in Charlotte to find out if they knew of any available jobs for me in the Charlotte area. Even though I was going to get an offer in Greensboro last week, it was just a day too late, Mike had already been offered a job to move to Charlotte (there were no jobs for him in the Greensboro area at the time). Yes it is a lateral move, but it gets him away from the Raleigh District Manager who wasn't very fair to him and was holding him back (Mike should have had his own store by now). Now, I have to find a job. I have a couple of possibilities going on, however, please keep saying prayers that I find something. Oh and I also have to sell my house, I am praying that we get an offer sometime early this week.

The Lord's Blessing
The Lord has given me the blessing of Mike in my life. A few weeks ago, Mike came to me and told me that he wanted to be Baptized in the Lake Baptism at the Church we have been going to. I cannot describe the excitement and pride that i felt when he told me this. Ever since my being reaquainted with the Lord in 2006, I have hoped for a Christian man to be put in my life. Since we began dating Mike knew it was important to me for whoever I dated to go to church with me. With that being said, getting to see the Lord's work in Mike has been so great.
On August 3rd, Mike and I began a new chapter in our life by being Baptized together. I chose to be Re-Baptized with him because I had been wanting to do it since last year. I thought this would be as good of a time as any since we were going to begin another chapter in our life in March as Husband and Wife.
