Last week, Jeremy was offered a web designer position at a design agency in Charlotte. He's excited about narrowing his focus (he did web & graphic design along with photography) and the opportunity to work in a small firm along with other designers (right now he's the only one).
There are many great things about this move:
1) More money! :)
2) Bigger city with more to do and more to choose from
3) Closer to Jeremy's family
4) Close to both our brothers and so many friends
We are sad though that we are moving farther from my parents (and they are too!).
As far as the move, we are not sure when it is going to happen. Jeremy is to report to his new job on June 7th, just 2 short weeks. Of course, this is really fast and we have a house here. He is going to have to without us at first and stay in my brother's spare bedroom. As far as Owen and I, we will stay here until we can rent the house out. After talking to a realtor, it looks like the best thing for us is to rent out the house instead of trying to sell it. Since we have only owned this house for a year and half, we don't have a lot of equity in it. We're afraid that we would not break even in the sale so we are going to hang on to it for a while. This also will allow us to be together as a family quicker. Homes here are taking over 6 months to sell at the least and we really just don't have 6 months with the new baby coming.
To help with the renting process, we have found a property management group that will help us. They will collect the rent and be on call for an issues that would come up. Once we rent our house, we can rent a house in Charlotte. Because Charlotte is such a big area, we need the time as well to figure out what area we want to live in.
We are really excited! The Lord has proven faithful in providing Jeremy a new job and we know He will bring us through the rest. We are so thankful for how fast and easy this job search has been this time. Please pray for us that this transition time will be really quick and we can be together as a family as soon as possible.

Hey I know your have friends and family that live in Charlotte but if you guys need any advice let me know..that is my home turf! Big thing to remember is the schools of CMS are horrible so look for places that you could send Owen and baby C to that would not be CMS. I have a cousin and her mom that work at a GREAT christian school. Let me know if you want the info. Also if you teach there they have a daycare where her son stays. Just an idea! Let me know if you guys need anything! I am really excited for you guys!
