We are in Georgia now and getting settled! I still can't believe we are here. The girls, Mama, Nancy and I left early Friday morning and made it here about 8:30 PM Friday night. Steve and Mom drove up even earlier than us! There were so many people here to help unload the truck, that by the time all us girls arrived, the truck was already gone and the beds were almost put together. The girls did fantastic on the drive up - I hardly heard a peep from them and thankfully Jordyn didn't fuss at all! Nancy's suburban broke down, but she was able to make it to a repair shop and they had her up and running in no time!
We have been overwhelmed by the care the church has poured over us since even before we arrived here. Not only did they help us unload the truck, but when I got here people had brought dinner (and have been every night since we got here!), had stocked the kitchen with milk, juice, homemade breads and muffins, peanut butter and jelly, pretzels, bread and other goodies! Also, they have been more than eager to help us with whatever we need!
It was really hard on Saturday and Sunday when our moms had to leave, but we are so grateful they were able to come up here and help us get moved in. I was telling Steve the other night that even in the moments when this has been the most difficult or when I am sad about leaving Orlando, I have not once doubted that this is where God wants us right now - and if this is where He wants us, this is right where I want to be - smack dab in the middle of His will for us. The cost is costly, but I'm seeing more and more of His grace at work in our lives!
The girls are doing great. Their new room is huge and they have all their toys in there right now. They have played pretty much non-stop since Saturday.
Today we went and bought some things for Steve's new office! Steve will begin his new job on Monday, so we are hoping it warms up some by the end of the week so we can go and have some fun before he jumps into working!
I'll post some pictures of the house in the next couple of days!

Love the slide show. Those are some really cute pictures. Glad to know ya'll are taking some time out to have a little fun, too. Also that the girls are still enjoying ALL their toys! Not all at once, anymore, though. Right?
It really was wonderful to see how everyone there is caring for ya'll...the food, the help, the eagerness to do WHATEVER you need/want....what a blessing!
Love,
Grannie/Mama
Hey! I'm so glad you guys made it there okay. That's crazy about Nancy's suburban though. Between that and the rain packing up you'll at least have a story to remember.
I'm so glad the church is taking such good care of you--it sounds like you're in a wonderful church family and I hope you are able to build strong relationships quickly. :-) Miss you!
