We're Here...finally!

My last month has been one long sad goodbye..in between making many trips down to Modesto to prepare for our big move, tying up loose ends, lots of lunches/dinners with friends and trying to find a place to live!  But we are here...finally! And it is such a relief to be able to relax and rest in our beautiful new home! It is so big and fits our needs (and desires) so perfectly.  We miss our friends in Redding very much, but are feeling very blessed by the home God has prepared for us.

I have been very busy these past few days unpacking boxes, trying to find places for everything in our house, organizing cabinets/drawers and unloading boxes and boxes of shoes, boots & heels!  We have received a lot of help from the people at Big Valley Grace.  We had a revolving door of help all day on Saturday, as people would come for a few hours to help unpack, clean and pull weeds! They have really blessed us and already made us feel welcomed! A few people even brought over dinner, so we are hooked up for the next few days (which is great since you all know- I don't cook!) hahaha! ;)

I will post some pictures of the house when I find my computer cord...it is still in a box, who knows where...we are still surrounded by boxes and boxes of STUFF! everywhere i turn, there is another pile, hidden under the table, desk, breakfast bar, in closets...They are everywhere! Please people! C0me down here and help me unpack!!! ;)  Speaking of...we have already had a few visitors which definitely spiced up my day.  Tyler, Ryan and Jillian dropped by on their way home to Redding.  It was so nice to see some familiar faces, hang out and talk and get some great hugs! We also got to see the Barnes family several times this weekend, since they were in the area for Evelyn's baby shower.   That was great too! we had fun playing games, eating dinner, and just hanging out like the old days!  We look forward to seeing more of our friends from Redding...we love you guys and miss you very much!
