Charlotte, here we come!

April 19, 2011

Got to post really quick here as I'm running out of time before work!

We've been doing a lot of praying and weighing out our options since January when we found out Baby Schwartz was on the way.  It was either to stay in Florida thru the fall, a bit longer than planned, and open our clinic toward the end of 2011  OR  to leave the Maximized Living training program and seek work else where for a year or two before opening our clinic.  Well, everything has kind of come together week by week.  God was definitely pointing us in a certain direction.  We have decided to leave the ML program for now.  As of THIS FRIDAY we are moving to Charlotte, North Carolina!  Dave has accepted an independent contractor position at a Maximized Living office in Charlotte.  It's a great opportunity for us as Dave will have is own patients and all, but we won't have to pay start up costs of a brand new business.  We are so blessed!  This opportunity will allow us to get on our feet and prepare for baby.  We plan to be in Charlotte about 1-2 years if all goes well.  You can start making plans now for visits.  ;)  North Carolina is a beautiful state!  We'd love to have you!

So this is why I am in such a rush at the moment.  Spent too much time packing, even though I wanted to get this post and a few other things done online before work.  But, we'll get it all done in time.  We always do!

And really quick, here is my first "official" baby belly picture.  I have just entered week 20.  To me, my belly is really big.  Pants don't fit anymore and shirts are all getting tight.  Everyone thinks I'm looking tiny though.  I just keep telling myself God is only going to put inside of me what I can push out.  My baby will be the perfect size for me!  No need for comparison to others.  Mindset is everything when preparing for a healthy birth.  :)



Also here is a picture of the palm tree in our front yard, with house in the back.  We have two palms, but this one was the smaller of the two.  Couldn't get a good picture of the other because it is so tall!  We'll miss the little things of Orlando, but at the same time are happy to be leaving.  We feel much more suited to Charlotte and North Carolina.



We'll write again soon after getting settled in Charlotte!  More soon! :)  OH!!  And we wish you all a very blessed Holy Week and Easter Sunday!!  HE IS RISEN, ALLELUIA!
