From Dothan to Birmingham and continuing to move towards missionary aviation

Family Beach Trip(Daytona Beach)October 2014

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope that you are all doing well and you are having a great holiday. This year may be different for us on the blog... hopefully we can do a better job keeping you all up to date on our adventures and all that The Lord is doing in our lives(with Mikayla and Maverick constantly on the move, we aren’t sure that this will happen).
We were blessed dearly by Calvary Baptist Church in Dothan and cannot express how grateful we are for our small group and many friends that we connected with during the 9 months that we were there. Mikayla is still talking about all her friends as if we saw them yesterday.  We miss you all very much and will never forget the memories we made and the impact that you have all had on our family. Thank you.
We have moved back to Birmingham, AL and hopefully for a good stretch this time. Back in August Michael accepted a position at Air Ops LLC in Bessemer, AL and one month later we made the move. He is working for a startup aircraft management and charter company building more flight time including multi-engine and jet time in the future. We took the job to make more money to pay off student loans quicker and be back at the Church of Brook Hills where we first met.
Living in Birmingham has been great. We are blessed to be in a great apartment and close to friends we love. We are starting to feel like we are home again and everyday is an adventure with Mikayla and Maverick. They both are growing and learning so much, it’s getting harder to keep up with them. Mikayla talks non stop and Maverick is constantly on the move and getting into everything. They adore one another and we couldn’t ask for more. 
We are rejoining The Church at Brook Hills and we have joined a small group of families that push us to dive into The Word. We feel so blessed to be surrounded by Godly men and women. The Lord has been constant in providing us with great relationships throughout the past 6 years that we have been together. We look forward to many more. 
Please continue to pray for us as we continue to move towards missionary aviation. We are slowly taking bites out of our school debt and are excited to see what The Lord has in store for our family.
