Long Distance

I feel so blessed to have Dean back in Lenexa with me.  Our relationship has mostly been long distance.  I graduated college a year sooner; so for one year he was still in Pittsburg America (as he would call it) while I started my job at Children's Mercy in Kansas City.  After Dean graduated we lived in the same community for a year and then he was sent to Creston, Iowa with this job.  There were mixed emotions running through both of us, what are we going to do now, does he search for another job? - But with the economy that may not be such a good idea, do I move and try and get a nursing job in Iowa, but I love my job at Mercy.  There were so many unanswered questions.  We both decided we had to put trust in the Lord.  God is the only one who knows the details of what's to come.  September rolled around and we got engaged!  So, the wedding planning began with 9 months until the big day!  We originally thought that we would continue to be long distance for the next several months after being married but God had a different plan for us.  Dean found out a week after being back to work that he was moving back to work in KC!  We get to be a "normal" newlywed couple (whatever normal is... ha) He has now been back for a little over a week and I feel like I'm on cloud 9!  Through this entire process our spiritual strength has grown with the Lord and we have grown closer together believing and trusting that his plan is 10 times better than our own. 

So yes - this man is officially back in Lenexa!

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  Proverbs 3:5
