Howdy Ya'll,
Yes, we moved to O.K.-L-A-H-O-M-A! OKLAHOMA!
It has been a whirlwind of a month!! I cannot believe how fast times have flown by and how busy life has been but I am not able to finally sit down and fill you in on life!
Matt got a youth ministry job in Henryetta, Oklahoma. It is a town of about 6,000. Yes...i said 6,000. So this is an adjustment for this city girl (where the closest Target is 45 minutes away...and the Super Walmart is 15 instead of just down the road!) But we couldn't be happier. Life is a lot more simple and a much needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. (Not that we don't stay busy here...because we certainly do! But it's just different and I am happy about it!) The Church Family that we have here has been nothing short of amazing. God really does know just what we need when we need it! We have been welcomed in such overwhelming ways! I wish I would have taken a picture but I didn't want to scare off our new family just yet!! But let's just paint this picture for you!
We arrived Saturday the 16th. We came four hours earlier than expected and there were about 20 people at the house (that they provided!) to help unpack the truck. Mom and DeAnne helped me set up the kitchen (HUGE THANK YOU!) and then we headed to bed! At church the next morning they held a potluck (they moved it specifically this day because we arrived!) and at this potluck we were greeted with sacks upon sacks of groceries!! I am telling you folks...the whole back of the XTerra and backseat were loaded! And since then, we have been greeted with hugs and dinners since! Plus, Matt's parents came in this past Tuesday and left this past Sunday and during that time here we did a LOT of things...they pretty much helped us get the entire house read in a week! How in the world we ever deserve this is beyond me! God shines brighter and brighter each and everyday! He surely has the BEST timing and the BEST plan...beyond what we could have ever imagined! So a HUGE thank you to the Man Upstairs and a HUGE thank you to our Families and Friends here and beyond for the help, prayers, support, encouragement, and most of all LOVE.
You guys light up our lives in so many ways!
Updates and pictures soon to come!
Love You, Mean It,
