It looks like that things might be changing soon for me.
In a good way.

 

Aliso Veijo

I may have an opportunity to move to the OC and be much closer to work.
And by much closer I mean about a mile away.
Which is 39 miles closer than I drive now.
Which will save me an hour and twenty minutes per day!

 

If everything works out, and God willing, I’ll be renting a room from a family that I know at church.
The place looks great.
They’re cool with Emma.
It’s super close to work.

Even though I’m excited to be closer to work and I’ll be able to save a ton of money on gas and vehicle maintenance, I’m still nervous.

Nervous on what the future looks like.
I’ve gotten so used to feeling like I’m a part of the Snyder family that it’s going to feel like I’m moving away from home for the third time.
What if Emma doesn’t get along with them?
What it just doesn’t work out?

It’s also a bit more than I’d hoped to be paying for rent (I guess that’s part of the tradeoff of living in Aliso Viejo).
And thanks to having to change my filing status Uncle Same decided he wanted an extra 15% of my income.
So I need to do some number-crunching and see if I can really swing this.

Along with moving, I’ve finally decided to sell both my vehicles and get a newer car. I’m hoping for something like a 2008 (or newer) Honda Accord or Hyundai or Kia. So if you or someone you know is interested in a ’89 V6 Toyota Pickup or a ’01 Mercury Sable, let me know!!

And in other news…

Tomorrow night is UNITE: An Evening of Worship and I’ll be running FOH for it.
I’m excited!
And a little nervous.
From a technical standpoint this is going to be more complex than our Easter service.
But after looking at who we have on stage and the songs that they’ll be doing , I’m pretty pumped that I get to do this!

So if you’re in the area tomorrow evening, come on down to Coast Hills and hang out with us!

Well, that’s all I got for now. Finally some good news in what has been kind of a dark time for me!

Thank you all for your continued prayers and words of encouragement.
You have no idea how much it means to me!!
