White Christmases, Here I Come!


I'm coming home!

Most of you guessed right but to be honest, I think most of you may have heard the news from one excited mother! I have accepted a job in Salt Lake City at Division Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired as an orientation and mobility specialist.

Through much prayer and ample job opportunities, I feel I've absolutely made the right decision! I have openly proclaimed, on more than one occasion, "I will not go back to Utah, no way!" But after pleading with Lord that He must be wrong and asking oh-so politely to please change His mind, He didn't and therefor I will now be headed home.

I'm very excited but filled with all sorts of mixed emotions as I take this next step in my life. I feel blessed to be given the opportunity I have, to make an impact on the lives of blind people and to hopefully give them more opportunities to find success within themselves.

Thanks for every one's love and support!
