Swimming in Boxes...

...Or, I guess I should say--playing in them!  I forgot that the best toys for kids are free (or around $3 at half price boxes or Walmart).    The girls have loved sitting in them and having us build "houses" out of them.  Allen is actually quite the builder!



Well, we only have a few days left before we head north to Iowa!  This Friday, we begin our trek up Interstate 35!  Just 3 months ago, we never would have dreamed that this would be happening!  But, here we are--on the cusp of a new adventure with God.  We are really excited about joining Him in His work at Luther college and in the small, but vibrant community of Decorah.  

That being said, our month of goodbyes has been tough.  We have had the privilege of sharing some excellent meals with very dear friends and family.  Each gathering has been very meaningful to us--especially to Allen.  We really are going to miss everyone, and are already looking forward to visiting during the holidays...that is, unless we are snowed in up there!  Ha!


Over the coming weeks, I will try and update this blog regularly, so that everyone stays up-to-date with the joys and trials of such a major transition.  We are confident in God's call and guidance, and place our lives in His hands.

Blessings to you all!  We love you!
