Staying in America

Yep, Allison and I aren't considering going overseas anymore so we'll be staying in the U.S. now. We weren't able to work out a deal with the overseas organization so we've closed the book on leaving the States. We're both sad and disappointed it didn't happen since we really thought we were going international. But we gave it our best shot and we don't have any regrets pursuing that endeavor.

One thing that we're excited about is staying here in the So. Cal. area close by to friends and family. We've got family here in LA, SD and further up north in the Bay Area. We'll continue to be able to see them more often than if we lived thousands of miles away, separated by oceans and continents.

Right now, I'm temping and looking for a job in San Diego and Allison's still plugging away at the Mission. We're also in the process of buying another car to replace my hot rod Pontiac and eventually buying a home. I feel like these are all very grown up things for me to be considering, daunting to say the least. But all I can do is my best and pray the Lord will show us favor.

Thanks to all of you who asked about our plans and listened to our journey. We appreciate all the love and support you've shown us and we look forward to being close by to continue our relationships with you all here in America.
