We are moving!! We have been looking for some time for a teaching/coaching job for Bill that would allow him to be a football coach again. He applied at several places, but we hadn't really heard anything until last week, when Elkader, a school that he didn't even apply at, called him for an interview. He lined that interview up and then we contacted Independence to let them know that he was interviewing somewhere else and that we needed to know their timeline. They responded, please come interview with us also. So this past week Bill made two trips east for these interviews. Last night, Thursday, Independence called (while he was on his way home from the second interview) and wanted to "make Bill a proposition". When he called back they offered him head varsity football, and 8th grade english. We took another night to pray and decide if this was where our family needed to be. This morning he called and told them YES!!!! We are going to Indee!! It is considerably larger than Hubbard. We have about 300 total students, they have about 1300 total students. It will be a little different for the girls, but I think they will adjust very well. Amber has been very excited about this whole process and so far, she hasn't really been bothered by the idea of leaving Hubbard. She is very excited about daddy coaching football again. Ashley on the other hand reacted just as I predicted. She cried. But then after a good cry we talked about everything that Independence has and what it will be like and now she is very excited. She actually went to school today and announced to her class that she will be moving and her daddy will be coaching football again. :)
So now, onward to painting and getting the house ready. We are praying and asking God to give us the right buyer willing to pay what is needed for our house. This is probably the biggest hurdle we have to face. The housing market in Hubbard during the last year was pretty bad, some houses sitting for a year. When I talked to the realtor he said that things are starting to pick up and he is seeing more action. Hopefully that means that someone will be looking at our house and buying!

We are praying for you to sell your house. At least you get to sell it the best of time of year to supposedly sell a house, right! God has taken you this far, he will do the rest. Atleast, your parents are close enough that you don't have to RUSH into buying a house. ALthough the ideal we would be to mvoe ASAP after school gets out to have a summer to get settled huh?
Congrats again Bill!

Our dearest Heubners:
We are sad you are moving further away, but very happy Bill found the "perfect" fit for him. I know its not in another state or anything,but it seems as busy as we all get we don't see you as much as we'd like and now you'll be further away. I think you will enjoy living in Independence. God's grace and speed in selling your home! If you buy and build on to the home again; I have dibs on running the nail gun; I love the feeling of power that power tool gives me (geeky, yes but true). Or a power washer or hey! an power tool you feel up to teaching me how to use or trust me with anyway.. he he.
Smiles,
