A quick update

7.5.2007 — 8 Comments

We’re settling in just fine, thank you!

The master bedroom is nearly “finished”, though nothing has yet been put on ANY wall. Ella is IN LOVE with her room – wait until you see pictures of it! (you’d have pictures if I would’ve remembered to bring the camera over here to the office, and yes 1-minute away is too far to run over and get the camera!)

The basement is taking shape. We have our washer hooked up and working well. The garage is a mess, but that’s normal, right?

The kitchen is Jess’ oasis. She’s doing so well at making it “hers”! We forgot last night that we don’t have a microwave, so we’re going to get one today.

I just got off the phone with our new cable/internet provider – Time Warner. They’re hooking us up at home on Wednesday morning! So, regular-updates will happen shortly thereafter!

Last night we enjoyed fireworks in the nearby city of Burlington (no coat factory that I could find). I’ve never been so close to large-display fireworks as we were to them last night. Ella loved them and HATED us covering her ears during the booms!

A lot more work to finish today, tomorrow, and Saturday at the house. Our first SNL (Sunday Night Live) is on Sunday night and we’re excited about getting to know our students and investing in their lives. We definitely feel God’s guiding hand on our lives in these moments. Confirmation after confirmation that we are to be here – now is evidenced through conversations and God-placed words since we’ve been here!

Thank you for your prayers! Keep on praying for our family!

  4. Hello! Glad to hear that you are doing well & that Ella loves her new room. I can’t wait for the new pictures and can’t believe that you left the camera at home. You are very missed even though it has been only 4 days but can’t wait to hear how your new ministry evolves.
