We've Arrived!!!

The reason for this blog is to keep family and friends updated with what we as a family are experiencing here in the south. And at the same we want to allow you to see God's faithfulness to us, we want to be an encouragement to all who follow this blog. As we post pictures this will allow family to see our children grow up and stay connected in that way. We hope to update this blog on a weekly basis, but with 3 little ones loving attention it might not always happen each week.

If we back track to day we moved it would take us to January 18 when we officially arrived in Pleasant Grove, Al. With us in the van was Juanita (Charmaines sister), Myla, and pulling the trailer with our belongings was David and Chad Nissley. Long time friends who we are very grateful for their kindness in helping us move.

We managed to get what we needed in the trailer which belonged to Flaud and my brother Jeff allowed us to use his truck. The details of what we will use came into place the week we moved, which was definitely the hand of God. Some might think why didn't you plan ahead better. Months before this I came to realize that if this is all suppose to be, us moving, I will not stress myself out making sure all these details were in exact place. Through this, God revealed His faithfulness time and time again.



Just arrived and gettin backed into place. Was a beautiful winter day to move. The temp being in the 50's.

 

In no time flat we had the trailer unloaded and the Nissley's were on the way. And thanks to all the help of packing the trailer, we had very minor scratches to the furniture. Juanita stayed till thursday and helped put things in place. I do not enjoy that part of moving and so i was glad she was along to help my wife. Erma Zook had sent a meal along down with us, which was a real blessing. No one felt like cooking up dinner after traveling all night. By evening we had enough furniture in place and we had somewhere to sleep. Rest never felt so good before.

We will try to do a fast forward overview of the happenings in our lives the last 8 weeks in the next few blogs and catch up with where we are now.

  1. Hey guys! I checked here a few times after we got back from your place, but then kinda forgot about it til your newsletter came today and reminded me of this! I hope we can stay a little more connected with you all. We MISS you! I read the little news section about your children to Dietrich and he was all ears. He esp. liked the snowman picture and the fact that Ava grabs for your plates because we are in that stage with Claudia too. Thanks for writing and blogging. I'm *sure* that between the two of you, you should be able to do one post a week!! =) We'll be waiting for the next one.
