Spring is in the Air!

Last week we got a small taste of spring and it was wonderful! We had a few days of sunny warm weather and we took full advantage of it.

We are trying to keep our house as clean as we can so I put a lot of the kids toys in boxes to only get out once in a while and only one at a time so it was really nice to be able to be outside for a few days. The boys had a great time riding bikes and skateboarding.
We welcome this warm weather and hope that is will bring people out to look at our house now that the snow is gone, at least that's what we are praying for.

Listed


Our house is now listed and things are not looking so good. The average time on the market for houses in our area is 6 months (more like a year) and that is going to be a challenge for us. John has 2 more weeks working here in MA getting things in order for his boss and after that he will have to drive the 2 hour one way to CT every day. We are trying to stay possitive since our house has only been listed for a few days but we have not had any calls on it. We have never had a problem selling our house the last 2 times we needed to move, so we are keeping our faith and praying each day that someone will be directed our way. So we are asking all of you to keep us in your prayers so we will be able to sell this house.

Here We Go Again....

We are happy to share that John has received a promotion at work and he is now a Warehouse Manager for Coca Cola!!!!!
We are so excited for this promotion, it is a pay increase and better hours. On the flip side of things the job is in Naugatuck CT. It is about 30 miles south west from Hartford CT. It is a 2 hour drive from where we live now and for us it is to far to commute so we are now going to move again!

It is going to be a challenge to sell our house but we have had faith in making this decision and we know that this is where our journey on this earth is sending us. John will have to drive back and forth only staying over one or two nights a week until we can get our house sold so we are trying to get things in order to help speed up the process. John has about 3 more weeks here in MA to help his boss out until he has to become his own boss of his own warehouse. We are so grateful for this opportunity and we know that Heavenly Father has been watching out for us in this process. John is blaming me for this job because when we prayed about leaving UT to move back East I always thought we should have been in CT all along so now we are moving there and it's all because I started all this almost 2 years ago now. It will be a challenge for our kids to change schools again but they know that we have prayed about it and they have been very good about trying to understand.
So here we go again starting another chapter in the Normandin story, we will have to see what will happen next.
