Where oh where?

So, if you don't know already, our current house situation is not working :/ Although we have been great tenants and paid our rent every month...our landlord has not been paying her mortgage. So...the house is in foreclosure. Awesome.

I know God is working this for our good, but its still hard living in limbo of our next step. We thought we would be in this home for a while, making it our last step before our final home, but it looks like that won't happen. Things are falling apart on this house and we have decided not to stay in it and try to buy it. So...on we move...again.

This time we really want to find a home we can put roots down in. Our poor kids have moved way too many times. I moved a lot as a child too and I didn't like it. I want them to make friends and keep them...not have to say goodbye. It's heartbreaking as a parent to watch and have to do as well.

Most of you know Micah's dream...to own a bucking bull business. He has been blessed to have a friend and mentor, Scott Acamazo, owner of Ace of Spades ranch. Scott has been helping, teaching and training him on what the aspects of being a stock contractor of bucking bulls entails. This is his dream and as a couple, it is my dream too. So...that throws a curve ball in our next plans. Scott, and MANY other contractors and bull riders, live in Stephenville, TX. Micah has traveled several times in the last 6 months to Scott's place to help and learn. So, I ask myself, if this is our dream and that is where he needs to go to learn, why don't we move there? If he wanted to be a doctor, we would have to move near a medical school...so this is basically the same thing.

This is a big step. This is scary. But exciting. That means I have to find a new customer and host base for Scentsy down there. Yes, I will keep many of my same customers and hosts because I can ship basket parties and I can ship orders directly to them...but in order to continue to build my business, I need to step outside of my comfort zone and meet new people. Stephenville is a college town so it has a lot of promise for growth for Scentsy and our new brand, Velata. I teach about finding new hosts, customers, and recruits...but now will I have to practice what I preach. Eeek. :)

So, next Wednesday I fly to Philadelphia for Scentsy Spring Sprint and then will fly back to Dallas on Friday. The kids and Micah will meet me there where we will spend the night then head to Stephenville the next day to look around, show the kids the town (I have been there once), and look at a few houses. Please pray for us. Pray that God opens doors that no one can close. That this next big step is a blessing to our family, Micah's dream, and to my Scentsy business.

We will keep you updated....
