BIG News for TeamBurton!

TeamBurton is moving! Stephen has just recently accepted a position in Kennesaw, Georgia (just north of Atlanta) as Director of Spiritual Life at Mt. Paran Christian School (http://www.mtparanschool.com). We are really excited, but a little heart-heavy, too.
Although I never expected to live in South Florida, it has become home to me in the past four years. This is where Stephen and I fell in love (actually, I first knew I loved him while eating a hamburger in the West Palm airport). It's where we figured out married life (well, where we started figuring out married life), where Kate was born, and where we made life-long friends. We have both loved our jobs. They're more than jobs. Our Maranatha family has loved on us, provided for us, they have been our surrogate family. And JCS, geesh. I learned to love teaching there. My kids, the punks, mean the world to me. And my friends there...I was so nervous when I moved down here after getting married. I was leaving a terrible school in Charlotte, but a great friend, Liz. I was so scared that I wouldn't find that again. I was wrong. Kendal, Jamie, Rachel T., Rachel S., Lisa, Christie, Jill...I love you all so much.
So, enough sap. We're heading out in less than two weeks! I know, crazy! We still need to sell our house, and we would so appreciate your prayers!

Hey cuz! Sounds like you are going through big and exciting things! I've made it through your old blog entries and Kate is such a cutie pie! Who knew we'd both end up as teachers! I miss seeing you when we go to Huntington so much! But, your mom caught me up when I saw her last weekend. Congrats on the new move and baby!!! Hope to hear from you soon!

You seriously aren't allowed to go. I'm going to stand in front of the moving truck and you will have to run me over!! I know Kendal will protest with me. I can't even think of you all not being here. I love you Kelly!!

Denial n.:disbelief in the existence or reality of a thing.

Denial v.: standing with Jamie in front of the moving truck pickett signs included saying DON'T GO BURTONS!

self-denial: sacrifice of one's own wants or needs; something Jamie and I are going to have to figure out how to do! love you.
