We're excited to announce that we've accepted an offer to join up with Eastern Christian School in New Jersey (suburbs of NYC). I'll be serving this school community as their director of Marketing and Admissions. We will move there this summer.
This announcement likely comes as a surprise to the fam- as even the idea if this was a surprise to our family as well.
We weren't pursuing something like this- and we initially resisted even the idea because we love our current home, school, church, and location (close to fam, etc) so much. But, as we legitimately considered the opportunity, prayed a lot about it, and sought council from friends and family, it slowly but surely became clear that this adventure was in God's plan for our family's next chapter.
We're of course loaded with emotions- excitement about the opportunity to do something that we've never done before, anxiety over leaving the only area we've ever known as a family.
For those of you who are either family historians, or are old enough to remember personally... Yes this is the same Eastern Christian School that my mom and dad taught at back in the 80's. In a fun twist of God's sense of humor, my new office (part of an annexed on-campus home that my parents and I used to live in) will be less than 30 feet from where my crib was located when I was a baby!
We have a million things to do and pray about before we make the move- your prayers are always welcome. And once we're out there, come on out and visit! An NYC trip with free lodging isn't a bad deal- only a 12 hour drive!

Congratulations! We will continue to pray for your family in this exciting time of change.
From Karen (I accidentally deleted your very nice comment!):
Love the picture of your feet by the brick with Jer. 29:11 scripture, knowing that these are the Lord's plans for your family... plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope & a future! So proud of both of you in seeking Him with your open & willing heart and the courage to obey His direction & call on your life. I can't help but also think of our God's great sense of humor Rudi, bringing you back to the place you were born. I remember a few wonderful trips to New Jersey to see you & your folks. We will keep you in prayer as you prepare for your move this summer.
