Short quick recap...

Boys in front of the The Foundry shortly after we took over leading this business.
Let's go back to July 2014 when we were sitting down to a nice dinner at our home in Michigan when the phone rang.  It was Sep's Aunt who was calling from Ohio.  His Dad had passed away unexpectedly.  So many different emotions and thoughts flooded our mind.  I was just figuring out who was going to cover my teaching time at church for the weekend when we traveled down for the funeral.  Sep knew this untimely death meant so much more.  He is an only child to his Dad and his Dad owned a business in Dayton, OH.  Yep, you guessed it, it was now ours...

On that day in July 2014 we were both employees of The Dow Chemical Company.  By August 2014 Sep had to retire from Dow in order to run, The Foundry, Inc. in Dayton, OH.  

Here we are May 2016 and are in the final stages of moving south, closer to The Foundry, so our family can be together more.  Week after week of Sep traveling to Dayton was really starting to take a toll on our family unit, the not being together, the stress of Sep not knowing what was happening in Ohio while we were in Michigan. We spent much time in prayer together as a couple and as a family. And of course, in our alone times with Jesus as well.  We both felt a peace about pursuing a move closer to The Foundry and that's when Jesus began to show His power in orchestrated all things falling into place.

Last week, May 10, 2016 we sold this beautiful, fabulous, dreamy Michigan home.

This week, May 17, 2016 we purchased this beautiful parcel of land, 40 acres.  It includes the Whitewater River at the back of the property, woods, tillable land, a babbling creek on three sides of the house, and a house that just needs some LOVE.  We are up for the remodel!  Occupancy to take place the weekend of July 4th...


Stay tuned....
