setteling in

Hi there!

"We've got mail!" Yes that is right. We finally started receiving mail here. We had not gotten a piece since we got here until Monday. (except 2 pieces of junk mail - yes only 2 in 3-4 weeks!) I have NO IDEA what was going on with it. Things were being sent to Racine and back down to TX and being held at the TX post office. and . . . anyway - who cares?!? WE'VE GOT MAIL. To anyone who is unhappy with the postal service or doesn't like sorting through stacks of junk and bills - bite your tongue and be happy about it! (spoken, actually typed from the fingers of the one who had to plead not to have her water cut off and hurry to the water dept yesterday to pay the bill!) WE LIKE MAIL.

Speaking of mail, the first round of Christmas cards went out a few days ago. lol - sometimes you just have to sit back and laugh.

On a more important note - Richard and I (and Nathan, by default) have found a church that we are going to be attending regularly. You may know that a very difficult part of our move was leaving the wonderful church family we had at Racine Bible Church - so this is a huge step for this place beginning to feel like home.

I also am also in the process of possibly getting a VERY part-time job.

Please join us in prayer that God will continue to direct our paths and that He would reveal Himself to us in new ways everyday and bring us back to Him when we stray.
