Thankful for the future.

Just a quick shout out to Marcy, who is hosting 10 days of Thankfulness. 
She gave me the motivation to write this and contemplate my life.


I am grateful for the Future. 
Along with that, I am grateful for answered prayers.

By the year's end, we will be here:





Cashmere, WA
"Welcome to Cashmere, located in the geographic center of Washington State, nestled in the Foothills of the Cascade Mountains. A stroll down Cashmere’s quiet streets evokes memories of America’s simpler, more care free times. Churches outnumber bars, residents use any excuse to line the downtown with the stars and stripes, and school activities draw capacity crowds of supporters.


Cashmeres tree-lined streets, shade you from the 300 days of sunshine. The Wenatchee River flows through the community and offers a summer full of recreation. Premier rock climbing exists just a few minutes away at The Peshastin Pinnacles. Climbers of all levels can test their skills in this state park. Devils Gulch a 23-mile loop, the gulchattracts skilled, experienced riders to its single-track dirt and gravel trail. Accessible from Mission Creek Road, it has been called one of the best mountain biking trails in the Pacific Northwest.

Wahoo!

So here the low down of this job.
Joe received an email last Tuesday from a broker we've been working with about an associate position with buy-in option.  So we followed that lead since we didn't have that many options.  
This guy would buy this practice & buildling for sale in Cashmere, WA.  He then would build it up, market it, everything...all the hard work pretty much.  Joe would just focus on dentistry.
After a year or so, we can buy it...

So today...
Joe called the Boss today, to touch base with him about how things went on Saturday. 
Yesterday, we drove over there to check out the ward and it was lovely.  Lots of kids, young families.  Beautiful area & weather.
We left just wanting SO BAD this job because we just knew.
Joe told the Boss about that and would be really disappointed if we didn't get the job.
The Boss said, "oh really?  Good.  So your accepting the job then?"
"Yes, completely.  I was even going to go as far as tell you to call the other applicants and tell them to not even make the trip but I didn't want to seem arrogant."
ha haa Joe, i love you.
The boss said, "Well ya, i was hoping you would say that because that is what I was wanting to do if you wanted the job.  So ya, i better let the other guy know that there's no need to come out on Wednesday"

We are just so excited.


We've been to the Wenatchee/Cashmere area before and loved it. It was about 2-3 months ago and ever since then, I haven't been able to get it out of my head!

So to get this opportunity there, I KNOW without a doubt, that Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and wants! 
I am truly humbled by this blessing that we have received.
Oh seriously, don't you love unexpected good news?
 
So in such a short amount of time, our plans for life have changed.
and I couldn't be happier.
