My short list for a new season

I'm laying next to my husband, who at 1:40 am, is peacefully sawing logs while he sleeps. Perhaps that is one reason sleep won't come easily for me. But another is that I've been mulling over ideas and plans. Let me back up a bit... Last year my husband applied for a permanent position within his company which would not require him to travel overseas as often. The opportunity was for a job here in Kansas. Of course the process of applying for a new position, interviewing, and being hired is always a lengthy one. It was back in February that he was able to do the interview, and this several months after applying.
So needless to say, we have eagerly awaited an answer. There have been so many instances where we've just grabbed hands, prayed over the situation and left it in God's hands. He has been here on a temporary assignment since early May. I followed him not long after, and still we have continued waiting. Ugh, let me tell you, there were times when that was just agonizing. A lot of decisions were hinging on a "yes" or "no" from HR.
There we were, waiting, hoping, praying, when ten days ago my husband got a call from the human resources department
