Settled

Well, we are finally settled here in Texarkana. We got here last Thursday night and started moving stuff in Friday. When we walked into the house, we found a great surprise:

Isn't this great? Andrew LOVED it! The youth did a great job decorating, don't you think? It's all down now, but we really felt welcomed! It's been a full week and things are going great. Andrew is adapting way better than I thought he would. We did have one incident with him while we were moving in. Warning to all of you mothers and grandmothers...this is scary! The movers were here moving stuff in and we set Andrew up in the front bedroom with Star Wars (whatever captivated him to keep him out of the way, right?!). Anyway, we were in our bedroom telling them where to place stuff and came out and realized Andrew wasn't in the room. We started looking for him and he wasn't in the house at all!!! We ran outside and he was no where to be seen. We were really panicking by this time. Jay ran down the street and found him six or seven houses down just hanging out with these people. The man was on the phone and we're not sure, but we think he may have been calling the cops. It was by far the scariest moment we've had with Andrew. All of the what ifs started going through our minds....our house is just two down from a fairly busy road! It gives me chills just re-telling it. He got a good scolding and of course we were more mad at ourselves than anything. Cheryl Littleton had told me some horror stories one time about people moving with small children.....now I know why she told me.
Anyway, everything else has been great. We had a great first Sunday and Wednesday. We had a VBS rally Wednesday night....see if you recognize any of the cheerleaders:

I think the gotee gives him away! This is all of the staff....they made such cute cheerleaders! Well, that's about all I have for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Two-State Paradox

Ok, so there is this weird dichotomy right now whereby Christi and I are "living" in two places at one time. At least with our hearts. Too weird to really talk about.
But here's the physical reality of being in two states at one time! This is us with a few of the search committee from Wake Village. Good times...

New Blog

Ok, here is the new blog that everyone keeps asking for. We have been crazy busy and well, sometimes I just forget about blogger. I will work harder to keep up with it. As most of you know, we are moving to Texarkana, Tx in a little less than two weeks. We have loved our time at FBC Joelton, but know that God is calling us to new ministry at FBC Wake Village (it's about five minutes outside of Texarkana). We are sad and excited all at the same time, which is a weird feeling. They are hiring movers to come and pack us up so I'm not having to pack everything, but I do have some closets to go through and stuff to get rid of. It really stuns me how much we acquire even when living in such a small apartment. Anyway, I will try and keep you posted as we move and get settled.

I don't have any new pictures to share with you. But I will tell you that Jay and I went out the other night with Danny & Michelle and Travis & Elizabeth and saw Amazing Grace.
It was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend that you see it. So that's about it for now....I hope this isn't my only blog for March! :)
