What do these things have in common??

What do
This skyline:

Th Kentucky Derby
UPS


And the Louisville Zoo
have in common???


Kris got a phone call on sunday on the way to church sunday from Taxworks in utah (the company he worked for in utah) He was asked if he would be able to fly to Seattle and San Francisco for a bout a month to train to call centers on the taxworks products and to walk clients through installing them. He agreed. So i am widowed for a month....at least that is what I thought. When he landed in Seattle on Tuesday he got a phone call from larry, at Zirmed, in Kentucky saying all the paperwork had come back and been approved and that they were offering him the job in kentucky. We were very excited. Larry said that they wanted him to start Feb 1st............................................................oh, wait...........................that means that I will be widowed just a bit longer....like from now until the end of the school year. That seems like such a long time that I just can't think about it right now. I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other, stay busy with the tasks of 2 callings, being mom and dad, managing the house and work. It just seems like such a LONG time to be with out my husband. But on the other hand, I have some goals that I am working on accomplishing and it will be an awesome thing to see him and tell him of the goals I am working on and how I did with them. I have been blessed with peace again and either I am tired or something because I am not stressed out about the time period of being apart. I know that the Lord's hand is holding mine and guiding me on the path I am on. I feel comfort in knowing that i am strengthened by him. That i am just a prayer away from all that I need.
There will be days that will be hard, that will try my patience (like yesterday) and in those moments, I can get online and send Kris a quick chat message, or a text message and he can respond to me and help me out. In those moments of stress and falling apart, because I know those will come too, in those moments, I know I have friends, family and ward members and a loving Heavenly father who will give me what I need to go on!
So...it looks like we are Kentucky bound. It is not utah, but it is closer to utah than northern maine. It is WARMER than Northern Maine.....and I think it will be great

Woot! I'm sorry you have to be separated for such a long time (I panic when Zack leaves over the weekend to go hunting, so I can only imagine how you must be coping) but I am way excited that you have so many good things coming your way. Kentucky is beautiful! Hurray!
