We're Here!

Ok... sorry it has taken so long to post anything new... life is nuts! But let's see..... what has been going on.

We had a great garage sale last Saturday! Thanks all our friends who helped us... it turned into a packing party! We got rid of everything big we needed to and took the rest to the goodwill.

Sunday we finally got a moving truck (which was a HUGE hassle... and I would rather not re-live it... but let's just say I reserved it a month before we were suppose to move... and I confirmed it the week of, and they didn't have it when we went to get it). Sunday they had a great send off for us at church. It was a really neat morning (throughout many tears). The had a great video of people saying stuff to us, and it was just really neat. They had a funny slide show and played funny "did you know" type games. Very clever. They gave us an AWESOME quilt with squares of kid's handprints from the ministry. That was an amazing gift that we will treasure forever! I can't think of anything better.

After church we went to the Garrisons/White's home and had a bbq, and then the packing began! Thank You Thank You Thank You to all who helped!! We are so grateful!

Then some sad and yet happy goodbyes and we were on our way. There were tears up the five and for the rest of the evening... and yet a peace that we were doing what we were suppose to do.

The first day of our trip was sinchy! (which means really easy) it took us 2 hours to get over the grapevine... with no traffic... which was awesome. We found our hotel and got a good nights sleep before going the rest of the way.

Monday we drove into nor cal! Everything fit in our storage unit (praise jesus!)

So this week we have....
1. Done a lot of sleeping.
2. Laundry
3. Got my school curriculum for next August.
4. Got to see my new classroom... my name was even on the door :o)
5. I will get my finger prints done on Friday!
6. Played cards with my parents
7. Saw a movie
8. Gone on a much needed and really fun date night with McKenzie
and... we've done more that I have probably forgotten but the coolest thing happened today:

WE FOUND A PLACE TO LIVE!

We've put the deposit down and everything! It is PERFECT!!! Something opened up just yesterday and they don't do a waiting list so praise the Lord that we walked in today.

We'll post pictures when we get them. We will be able to move in between August 15 and 20th! It is perfect! We get home from camp on the 12th... so it's just great!

Ok... more to come later... hopefully with pictures.

Tomorrow our friends from So Cal are coming to see us! They had planned a trip anyways to come to Lodi, so it worked out to come and have lunch with us! So that will be fun! And we are going to be eating at Taqueria Rosita! Yum!

Ok... good night and good luck!

PS We leave for camp Saturday afternoon, in case you are wondering!
