Big Decision

So, I have prayed about this for a LONG time now. And, I am confident that this is part of God's plan for my life. This is also something that I thought I would never say. I have decided to move back to Snyder when I graduate in May. I have applied for a job there, and even if I do not get a job, I will probably just sub or find another job. My family is one of my biggest priorities, and my Nana was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago. I haven't really discussed it with a lot of people, so this is hard for me. She has been on some medicines that have definitely helped slow the progress of the disease, but I know that the disease will eventually progress more. My Nana is one of the most important people in my life. Next to my Mom and Ali, she is one of my best friends. She has always been there for me, and I think that it is fair that I am there for her while she is battling this horrible disease. She is also very excited about Ali and me coming back to Snyder, so that makes me want to move back even more. I am confident that God will take care of me no matter what, and that anything I do will be for His glory. This is a new step in my journey, and I am excited about what my future holds.


"For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

I am so sorry to hear about that. I don't much hear things from Snyder anymore. My grany had that too, and it is hard. But both you and she will cherish the memories..
Best of luck to you.

Oh my gosh.. I haven't had time to blog in a while, and scrolled down to see the baseball pictures.. Have to say it made me sad to see the number 4 out there and it not be Brent.. We couldn't have asked for more out of high school baseball. It just isn't the same after that. Tell Hunter I hope the number does him well..
