November to November

~November 2, 2010~ .
It has been a whole year since the move. While this last year was going on, I thought this time would never come... (like the time where we were in our own home and settled)...but thank the Lord that we are almost there. He has provided for our every need, exceeding our expectations, and we are happy and healthy!
.
Here is a recap:
.

November 2009 ~ Move from Hog territory to "the homeland" .

Lived in my brother's barn for all of November and December. (I guess I didn't want to remember these days because I didn't take any pictures. haha. It was fine though, and I got to see a lot of my brother and sis-n-law)

Christmas 2009

.

Moved into the church's mission house ~ January 1, 2010
.
Valentine's Day 2010 ~ Nate did a lot of things to make me happy in these 10 months. We were both missing a normal life, but made the best of our time here. We were together and really "livin on love."
.
Nate decided to save some $ we would store everything we owned in every available empty spot in the mission house. Making our stay there even more enjoyable. haha.

"Consider it a sheer gift when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So, don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you can become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way."
~James 1:2-4

Back to Normal

We had our first big youth get together at our house. Yay! Things are slowly getting back to normal... A new kind of normal, and we are loving it.
