Big News and a Weekend Blog Hop!

Welcome to my weekend blog hop -
Make My Saturday Sweet #85!

Thanks for joining me once again
on my weekend blog hop!


We have big news this side of the world.

Our house is on the market. If it sells for what we want/need in the next couple of months, then we will be relocating to the States. 
I've been discussing this topic with my husband for more than a year and it seems that the time is right for us as a family to move by the end of this year. The school year in South Africa ends early December and our son will graduate high school. 

I've lived in South Africa for close to 19 years. All four of our kids were born here. They have South African and American citizenship.

We would appreciate your prayers. Moving is never easy.

Found your blog through the Faith Filled Friday linkup! Praying for your move. (: I think it's awesome you lived in South Africa for so long! Also praying for peace as you change locations. I'm currently living outside the states as well, in Italy, because my husband is US military. Blessings xo

Thanks, Madelain! I was an Army brat, so I understand. Italy is pretty nice. I love the food and the ice cream. :) I hope it's going well for you there. I'm sure you belong to a military community where you can connect with like-minded people. Sending a prayer of blessing your way!

Good luck with your move. I hope your house sells quickly and your move goes seamlessly. That's a big move. :)

Wow...that is some pawsomely big news. Hope your house sells quickly. With a view like that (we know the rainbow isn't there everyday), who could resist. Good luck and have a great weekend. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Thanks, Mary! I just sent you an email, so keep an eye out for it. Also, I enjoyed your photo tip Friday. I'm sure it will help lots of bloggers. Take care and God bless!

Wow, that will be an undertaking to move after 19 years, but putting it into motion is what is needed for planning. I wish you success on selling your home and your move, where would you relocate to in the states?

Thank you for stopping by Oh My Heartsie's Weekends Are Fun, I have pinned the banner to our Pinterest Board.
I also love the photo of the rainbow, that is really great!!!
Have a great weekend, Karren

Thanks, Karren! I really appreciate the prayers and the pinning. We are wanting to move to Florida. I'll keep my blogging community updated whenever there is something newsworthy. ;)

Good luck with the move. It is always exciting but never fun!
Wow! 19 years! Praying for you and your family as you transition from where you are now back to the States... =D
