Chicago Carters x 2!

I have no pictures to share this post however, big news to share! The Massachusetts Carter's will now be the Chicago Carter's! Yes, Clyde, Mackensey and I will be joining Heath and Thais in the windy city. We have no details at this point as to when but, couldn't be too soon for us. This latest development happened amidst us trying to find a home to buy in Massachusetts. The timing couldn't be more perfect! Clyde lost his boss Chris Haller to a promotion in the corporate office in Chicago last December. At the same time a position for a Senior Director in marketing opened up. Clyde applied for it and had a 30 minute interview with someone. Since then we were just praying and waiting. After a few weeks of hearing absolutely nothing about it and seeing on Chris' calendar the many interviews he had had with other more experienced people, Clyde resigned himself that this was not going to happen. After spending last weekend looking for houses, Clyde found "our house" in Mass.! On Sunday, the 24th he received an email from Chris asking him to call him the next morning first thing. He got the job! We cannot do anything but, give thanksgiving and praise to our Lord for this opportunity. The timing is perfect, the place is perfect, we are thankful.

In the meantime, I have spent the past two weeks in Kansas with my dad and stepmom who just went through a major heart sugery. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions as Connie struggled to live. Lots of tears and prayers and praises during this time. God showed Himself to be a faithful, healing Physician in more ways than one. I love you Daddy and Connie. You are the BEST!

As we look forward to everything God has in store for us in Chicago, we also look forward to the traveling this spring to see as many Georgetown University softball games as possible. It will be a whirlwind this spring!!!!! I will try to keep everyone updated as we enter into this time of change.
