Yep. It's true. Adam got a job offer at Gardner Design, his dream job. He loves the work they do and is super excited to join their team!
Everything happened so fast, honestly. We drove down to interview two weeks ago, explored the city quick, stayed the night, and came back the next day. For the last two weeks you could say that I may have been on one big emotional roller coaster. Crying one minute. excited the next. and crying the next. But I think that's okay. I'm okay with my tears. It will just take a little time! I am looking forward to this new "chapter" in my life with Adam. Just the two of us, hardly knowing a soul, moving 5 hours away, and doing life.
Adam told the church last week and I wrote my letter of resignation to Elkhorn:( We are both super bummed about leaving our coworkers, friends, and family obviously. It's not fun to tell the people you love that there might be a chance you are leaving town for awhile. However, fortunately everybody that we have talked to is very encouraging and behind us 100%! We think this is the perfect time to try something new!
I have been applying and applying for jobs and am in the process of getting my teaching license in Kansas. Stressed. I've been so stressed. So, I'm praying that everything will work out in the "Amy getting a job" department. The people at Gardner we met the day we went to interview seem down-to-earth and were
very welcoming- it will be awesome to get to know them better.
Let's see...what else... Adam starts May 7. We are going to move down a couple of days before and then I will be coming back to finish off the year at Fire Ridge. We just found a cute little house to rent and are both sooooo excited to move into an actual house and make it our own! We will have a yard and everything....no dishwasher (which I'm not jumping for joy about)...but a yard! Bruce will hardly be able to contain himself. Plus, the house is located close to Gardner so Adam will be able to bike to work here and there! He is loving that thought.
So yeah! That's the update! Pleaseeee come visit us if you would like! I will be itching to entertain friends with all the places Wichita has to offer!
Amy I will love to visit you and Adam ... on the way back and forth to Dallas/Waco. We stop at Wichita as a pit stop and now we know somebody to visit! Congratulations and praying God will open doors for you and bring new friends and a church you love. Cindy
ReplyDeleteYes Cindy! You can make a pit stop anytime! We would love you to come!

ReplyDeleteHey Amy – I am one of the few females over here at Gardner Design and can't wait to meet you and Adam. Unfortunately I was in TX visiting my dad when you guys came down. I can't imagine how hard it must be to move, but I would be happy to hang out or recommend some fun things to do here in Wichita. I will be praying for your happy job hunting as well!

Thanks Jami! That is so nice of you! We have started packing up...slowly but surely! Thanks for the prayers and job hunting thoughts! I've applied at many schools so hopefully something will work out! It will be nice to meet you and the rest of the crew soon!
DeleteIt will be fun! And hey, if you're looking for a church, I'd recommend East Heights United Methodist, right down the street from Gardner Design. I've been teaching there for 10+ years, and it's great. And, I've got to plug Andover for a place to move, although if you could find a quaint house in College Hill, I'd probably do that.
ReplyDeleteSee you both soon.
