home away from home

Well, we're officially residing in College Station now. We packed up our clothes, pots & pans, etc. and headed this way last weekend. We're renting an apartment for 6 months until our house sells. Will you keep praying for that for us? We've had some really good showings & our neighbors' house just sold, so I feel like it could be just around the corner. I have to daily remind myself that the Lord has blessed Ben with this new job & that He will take care of the details for us. Until then, we're enjoying apartment living. With the exception of sleeping on an air mattress and taking cold showers, Addi & I love being here. We have breakfast as a family again & get to spend a lot more time with Ben. The best thing of all, Addi can drag out ALL of her toys & I don't have to worry about picking everything up before a house showing in 20 minutes. We're all less stressed & for that, I'm thankful. We tried out Central Baptist on Sunday. It's hard not to compare everything to 1st Baptist Houston. The music, the nursery, the lack of donuts. It's kind of hard being the newbies again. That being said, Ben & I met some of the nicest people in our Sunday school class. They truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We're thankful to be here, to be together as a family again & to be walking out the Lord's plan for us. We miss terribly, all of our friends and family in Houston. We think of you often and love you. Once we have more than an air mattress to offer, we'll be inviting you up for dinner. It's only an hour ya know.
