Annapolis, a Hurricane and a move






The second week of September, Team Petro loaded up and made a drive out to Annapolis for what was interview number one of two. Hannah Gray even helped with the driving. We stayed in downtown Annapolis and had a great time in the historical town on the water. Ethan's interview went really well (it ended up being 3 1/2 hrs long!!) and we enjoyed the town. We even had a chance to visit with our friends, Tom and Lindsay! We came back home and were greeted by the "hurricane" that hit Ohio. It was an extremely windy drive from Zanesville all the way back to Cincinnati. I think the winds were probably hitting at least 60 mph. Once we got home, our neighbors greeted us as everyone was outside because the electricity had gone out. They told us that it could be a week without power! I thought they were kidding. But they definitely were not. So we got the car unloaded and Hannah Gray ready for bed before we lost sunlight and enjoyed a quiet evening at home. We drove to Findlay Monday morning to go get a generator from Ethan's parents so we didn't lose all the food in our freezer. On the way back home, Ethan received a phone call asking him to come back to Annapolis for another interview with the President.  He was the only person they interviewed that they invited back. So last Tuesday, we loaded up and made trip #2 to Annapolis. 

It's been extrememly hard to think of leaving our family and friends, but we find continued comfort in the fact that God is leading and directing us. We would most definitely appreciate continued prayers and support.
