Well it's been a little while since my last blog post. Between vacation in Ocean City with my family and vacation in Jackson Hole with Rebekah's family, there hasn't been much in the way of extra time. On top of all of that, there's been a pretty significant change in my "career development" that has happened so quickly that I've barely had time to take it all in.

On August 30th, I will begin a position as an Undergraduate Admissions Counselor at Wheaton College. So that means I'll be leaving my job at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the City of Brotherly Love and moving back to Chicagoland after a little over two years away. It is at once very exciting and a little overwhelming for me and Rebekah. She is working on lining up a job in the Wheaton area (any leads would be much appreciated!) and we both have a lot of work to do in the next two weeks.

Funny-ish sidenote: During a phone interview with the director and assistant director of admissions, I was in Wyoming at a MUCH higher altitude than usual. The air was a little thin. So on top of the usual interview jitters, I occasionally sounded like I was running up stairs with a pile of cinder blocks on my back while trying to answer their questions.

Anyway, that's what's up. It will be sad to leave my family, my church, my Philadelphia friends, and my youth group kids. But even though it's hard to leave, I have seen God's hand of guidance through this whole process. This is the right move to make. I'll try to be a bit more regular about posting on this site. In the meantime, call or email me if we haven't talked for a while and please pray. More to come soon!
