We have a home!!

So we're all settled into our new place. Feels a little like our friend Dr. Sarah's old place. It's nice, brand new inside, and double what we were paying in OK. Ah...the joys of higher cost of living. Surprisingly though, gas is still well under four dollars here. It is so beautiful here. The weather is so great now.  We see something new everyday. There is so much to do here and movies are only four dollars!!!  Justin, Jacey, and Sarah (Jacey's cousin) go and see all the action movies while Lindsey, me, and the kids do something kid-like. It works out really well. Caleb will be home from his two week long trip on Sunday. I know that Justin is excited to have another guy around again- he just won't let on to it. 

When he, Caleb,  gets home, I will be able to put pics up. I'm computer illiterate.  We are still looking for jobs. I found a non-profit organization that works with HIV and AIDS patients that I would really like to work for. Please pray for that to all work out. Since my last job, I have a lot of compassion for these patients and really want to work for this organization. It will take my license 4 weeks to come through so I will probably get a different job before that. I've sent my resume to a couple places. I meet with the lady from the HIV clinic next week just to chat.  

We miss home, our friends and families, lower prices, dinner and a movie at the Anderson's, lunch with my dad, dropping in on the Blue 7 crew, corporate worship at Crestwood (only for a time not available), Tacos and Burritos with Rex and Sara, the house, comfort.... 
We know that we have purpose, sometimes it's hard to gain vision, feels a bit overwhelming at times (not underwhelming or just whelming, but overwhelming) but we know we are here now, for this time to make a difference. Please pray for vision again.  

We thought marriage was a breeze until we sold our house, left all our friends and family, quit our jobs, and moved to a foreign place. We are discovering the kinks in marriage. We're ok, but I'm a little more sensitive than ever, Justin's a little more...well we all know Justin ;-) and we are practicing our argumentation skills more now than before! You can pray for that!!!! 

Ok pics to come. Love and miss all of you very much.

We are praying for you guys. We're ready for you to move back...maybe not Justin - just kidding. He know he loves and misses us.

Change is always hard! God calls us to do hard things, but always promises to be with us and to bless us beyond our comprehension! My prayer for you is to remember that you both are best friends. No one else in the world would travel half way across the country without anything but God's blessing and the prayers of friends, just to be with each of you! What I'm trying to say is only the two of you could do that for each other (No offense Justin, but I don't think I could last to Dallas in a car with you and Thomas, none the less Portland!!) Remember that you are there for one another like no one else! Also that as you lean on God, who called you there in the first place, He will lift you up, and use you like you've never known!
Love you guys, so much! Praying for you daily!
