-
We drove in and went almost directly to the closing on our new house (everything went well!!!)... then a quick bite to eat and camped out one more night on an air mattress (Myah kept us both up all night).
The truck with everything we own showed up at 7:00 this morning and everything was unloaded (onto the driveway and into the house) by 11:00 AM!
After that, it has been a barrage of good ole' Southern hospitality! New friends who are giving their heart and soul to the plant helping unload the truck - brand new friends (who we have never met before) helping us unpack boxes - one of our planting partners brought pizza for lunch another brought pizza for dinner - and get this - - our new neighbor from across the street surprised us and ordered pizza for us (and then came over to introduce himself). It's a lot of pizza, but it's UNBELIEVABLE to be supported and welcomed like this!!
Toss in a couple of mishaps with local utilities (like water not being on), traveling all over to put deposits on the rest of utilities and the girls toggling back and forth between playing with new friends and crying because they are tired and here we are waiting for my parents to arrive (they are coming to help unpack for a few days).
One other thing: a special thanks to all of the guys who helped PACK the truck in Bryan! Everything arrived fine and relatively unscathed!! You guys ROCK!!!! Also a big thanks to Jason Kreger for hooking us up with a great deal on the semi that drug our stuff down here and for sending a great driver who was willing to work his stinkin tail off instead of just sitting around while we worked - Chad was a great help!!
We are anxious to get settled, load up the squirt guns and storm the gates of Hell!!!!
Keep praying!!!!

I feel like you're blogging a mission trip and you'll be home next week!
I guess it is a mission trip, but...Miss you guys! :)
Have fun getting everything unpacked! Awesome to hear people are lovin' on ya already!
Hope you guys are getting settled and feeling at home. The girls were excited to see your address. I think Myah and Marissa can expect some mail soon!
Makayla told Sydney that her new house is "da bomb"! So great to hear that things are moving along. Thinking and praying for all of you all of the time!
