The cat's out of the bag

OK so I just sent a mass memo to my entire family to let them know that we're moving to Washington. It went over pretty well I think....well actually I'm pretty sure that it hit head on like a ton of bricks. But it's going to be OK. It really really is. I'm excited and scared and sad all at the same time. You have to understand I've never been away from good 'ol N.E. for more than two weeks in my entire life. I'm a great plains girl through and through. I'm fine with the fact that we only have two seasons (summer and winter), kosher with the fields of rolling grains, and I LOVE the Tornados. And now here I am ready to uproot and go all the way across the nation to move away from my whole support system. A little scary to me. But I know that it will be ok. Why? Not just because I have my beautiful children to focus on, not just because my husband is Amazing; but because my God is incredible! I know that I can do all things because I have Jesus on my side. Cheesy? Maybe sounds a little, but it's totally true. No I'm not trying to write a bumper sticker here. I'm just saying that I am strong because I have HIM to lean on. More to come. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I (think) I'm going to enjoy writing it.

What the heck is Woosah?

Woosah...it really is a word. I learned it (and many other things) from my dear husband. It means to tell someone to calm down and relax. I've decided to name my blog that to remind me to settle down and chill. Sometimes I can get uptight or frantic like we all can at times. The whole reason I started this blog was to blog about my feelings about a new twist in my little life journey....I need this to woosah. So I named it woosah. Chill out, get some peace, settle down, be still! The new twist you ask? My family (meaning me, my husband and our two children) are moving to the great state of Washington. Jeff's company wants him to take over a shop that's not doing so well there and so off we go. We've been thinking and praying about going for a few years now because that's where his family lives. The other day his boss came up to him and jokingly asked if he wanted to run the shop out in Hermiston, OR (1.5 hrs from where we'll be living). Well things got rolling and the joking stopped and now here we are getting ready to move.
