It's been 2 months since Kylie surprised us 3 weeks before her due date, and the world hasn't stopped spinning since then. We sold our house, packed up our belongings, said our good-byes, moved in with the in-laws, and the last step is finally approaching - starting our new jobs. Yesterday we went to Clearwater First Church of the Nazarene and were officially introduced to the congregation. Even though I was nervous, it was felt good to be a part of a church family again. We met several members after service, and hopefully we'll remember there names next Sunday. It's crazy to think that we start next Monday with staff meeting and have a full week of ministry. I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous about starting. I've been thinking about this since January and all the build-up is about to drive me crazy. I just remind myself that God is in control and He will help me every step of the way. All I have to do is love and serve Him, and He will take care of the rest. The carpet is coming either today or tomorrow. Hopefully, we can move in no later than Wednesday!
I have some pictures of the week my family was here too. It was a great time for the EIGHT of us to be together. It was a different pace that we were used to with two babies keeping us on our toes, but we loved the time anyway. I feel so blessed to be so close to my family. Parents who have sacrificed and loved us no matter what, a sister I can relate to and always rely on, a brother in law who accepts our crazy family and adds his own level of weirdness, and a niece who lights up the room with her laugh and smile!! We won't be together again until next summer when Sarah and Casey come back from South Africa. I will miss them more than they will know, but couldn't be prouder of the mission they will accomplish overseas. Check out their web page www.ubuntusports.org.
