2 weeks in

I feel like we have been here for 2 months. I don't know why. It is not bad. It is beautiful and most everyone is super friendly and helpful. I have pictures uploaded to my computer (our old family computer) but Chip's work computer is the only one that can get online at the moment. long story. I think it just feels like we left Baton Rouge a long time ago and that we have been here for a lot longer than we have because we have done a lot in the past 2 weeks. We have been to 2 soccer practices, 2 soccer games, a t-ball practice and a t-ball game, 4 different church services, 2 church intro classes, a national park, lunch at a new friends house on Easter, another new friends house for dinner, a bible study, a park playdate, looked at countless houses and eaten out a lot. oh and had a round of the stomach bug that went through all three kids. WHEW! I am tired!

Although we are keeping busy and loving the beautiful scenery, we miss everyone much!!! We still know we are doing the right thing. Oh yea, this is mainly what the kids and I have been doing. Chip too has been extremely busy but loving his new calling.

Fellowship Bible Church

We are in the process of getting to know churches. This church came highly recommended by those we respect in Baton Rouge. Last week was our first time to go. I was emotional from the get go. People are so happy to be there, they are helpful and kind. The kids area is amazing. The lady beside me was in her 60s and belting out praises to a contemporary hymn. People of all ages were there serving and worshipping and taking notes. And then the sermon started. And it was about "Doing Life as a Team". And how the church started by a few couples who were on staff together with a college ministry. Ahhh! And then the flood gates opened. It is a really encouraging story if you have time to watch. If you click on the link below, it will pull up an archive of all the sermons. Once you choose the sermon, you can choose to listen or watch. I would watch.

here i am

I do not have internet at the apt. So, since chip is home till 7:45 this morning I hopped up and headed to chick-fil-a for breakfast and internet. i am being blessed by christian music playing overhead. i asked the manager if there was always music playing. i am usually only at a chick-fil-a at lunch and you cannot hear a thing. anyway, we started out the week (last wed) with unpacking. we hit the high points and then road around looking at a suburb. This turned into our pattern for the past week. Chip left on Sunday night for a 4 day trip. He is leaving at 7:45 this morning for the day. Gone are the days when he would take the day off after a trip. He is spending the day with a fire fighter and then putting the finishing touches he has on a presentation for a meeting Monday night at a volunteer dept. There is much to say just no time to download pics or say it. Streed is playing soccer and t-ball. We (the kids and I) are going to Community Bible Study on Wed mornings in one of the suburbs. This is where the girls go that I was "getting to know" over email before we moved. People here are very nice. It is the South. There are churches on every corner. There are probably 3 that we will visit. We shall see....
