new mexico bound

it is time for the hart clan to leave the midwest.

jesse accepted a job at the university of new mexico and we will soon call albuquerque home.
it is an excellent opportunity for our family.  i am so thankful this uncertain state of unemployment will only last 10 weeks.

but it is new mexico!
i am still in shock that we will soon be leading a high desert life.

the path is so unfamiliar, but we walk with One who leads the way to joy.

i would be lying if i said this was what i wanted.  although leaving was not my choice, i am wise enough to know that His choices are so much more beautiful.

but there is still the beginning of excitement.  it walks side by side with disappointment.
oh the adventures we will have in the southwest!

 have i mentioned we leave in ten days?!?!?!

i better get back to packing.
