Hey Family! This is where you will be able to keep up with pictures, stories, and every day life.
We have just 3 more days until we pack up the moving truck, 6 more days until we close on the house, and just 11 more days until we pack up and head to our new home state of Missouri!
Moving from our home state of Massachusetts and going to Missouri isn't going to be easy. We are leaving all our family and friends. We are leaving everything we have ever known. But we know it is going to be so very worth it. Why, you ask? Because the Lord is calling us there to be a part of a church called Lake Road Chapel. It is quite a long story, but hey- the people reading this already know :) We already feel at home there, and I have never been!I have received emails from members introducing themselves, the Pastor and his wife have SO helpful. I have emailed her countless times with questions. In fact, she is the one who found our rental house and did all the hard work for us! Chris has stayed with many people while down there for his two visits, and when he talks about them with love, I fall in love with them just as much. It just feels like...home.
Chris is currently down in Missouri. He is getting some pictures of the
house we are moving to and putting a deposit down on the rental. He will
also be having a job interview with the company he hopes to work for
while we live down there. So it is just me, the kids, and the dogs
attempting to find the house.
I could take a picture of what our life looks like right now, but I am pretty sure you do not want to see that! *I* don't want to see it. Random stuff on every surface. Things that are getting packed. Things that had it's pair already packed but didn't make the box. Things we are donating. Things we are throwing away. Things that I didn't even know we owned! A dog that is confused about all of life, and three kids that want to keep ALL the things with a mom that wants to keep NO things.

Anyway, that is all for now. Will be back soon! Who knows, maybe with some pictures :)
OH! And for anyone wondering and who knows me? No the sewing room is not packed yet...I still have more sewing to do!!
Oh Alyssa...that love you feel is going to grow and grow and grow...especially when you get the chance to serve them in return :) My heart still feels like it's going to just burst....there will be many trials and temptations....the enemy doesn't want you to be part of a living body. I have never experienced as many attacks as I have in this past year!!! Crazy attacks....but I have also never experienced such consistent closeness to Christ on a daily basis!!!! Being part of a biblical living body of believers is SO sweet!!! We love because He first loved us :) 1 John is so sweet a letter to me now :)
