In the last 7 months, we have: packed up everything and shipped it to my Mom's house for storage, rented out our house in Calimesa and moved in with Mike's sister, Lisa, in Chino. Then I got a part-time evening job at TJ Maxx (for a while, I'll explain later). After a long 8 month wait, Mike received the most excellent news in late October (on my birthday) that he will be starting a new and exciting career. **Per Mike's instructions, I cannot share online what his new career will be, but most of you reading this probably already know because you are our friends and family :) ** Then Mike asked me to quit my job to once again be a full-time mommy (isn't he the best?) and to devout my time to supporting him in his new journey. I was surprised to have mixed feelings about quiting my little job. On one hand, it was nice just to get out of the house for 4-5 hours and be someone else, to meet/help people, share God's love, etc. On the otherhand, I'm thankful to have missed out on working a retail job on Black Friday (I shutter to think what it would have been like). In the end, I now know that Mike's decision was the right decision for all of us. Praise God for God-fearing, faithful husbands!
Currently, Mike has said his good-byes to his Rialto co-workers and looks ahead for his adventures to come. Last week the Hillwigs (my dad and step-mom) blessed us with a totally awesome 5-day vacation in Oceanside to kick start our new life. So as we continue to dish out the yummy Thanksgiving leftovers, I shall reminisce about our good times in Oceanside. I hope to post pictures later today!
Is it too early to say "Merry Christmas"? :)
Love, Nicole
Here's Mike about to take Dylan and Nathan to the park
so I can concentrate on making our Thanksgiving dinner.
