July, already?

Time is flying by! They say it happens as you get older and now I finally believe them (whoever them are!)

I have not had internet connection like this since a year ago....I am so excited to be online and wireless and know that I can blog on a whim! yippee!

My kids are growing so fast and I feel like I am missing it somehow. Each day crawls along and then...bam! They are 6 months older and I realize how small they really were. I am desperately trying to cherish this time, but some days it is simply impossible. The cute red heads are their very good friends Landon (2) and Andrea (almost 4) We are eating ice cream here! As you can see Creed is a ham...

We just moved to Azusa CA and Jon started his new job as a Resident Director this week. So far, he is really excited and I know he will be incredible in this position! We cannot wait for school to start....meeting the students will be so much fun!

Here is a pic of Jon on Graduation Day! Like the sleeves????? We still don't get it.

For those of you who are wondering about the church plant, it is in the works. We are planning for next fall and gathering our team in the meantime. God has given us this job (quite divinely, I believe) as a tent making skill as we pioneer our way into the Vineyard world of churches! We are so amazed at how well this job fits who Jon is and takes care of our needs at the same time! Free housing! and utilities! This means great debt reduction for us and we are thrilled about that.

I plan to add more soon. For real this time. We just were home to Wisconsin and I will post some pics soon...

in the mean time pray that we get settled and make new friends quickly! I am a little Fuller home sick! The community there was very unique and unrealistic for the rest of my life, but I made life long friends there and I cannot believe that I think 20 minutes is really far away! (it is when you usually walk a block or across the hall!)

Bye!
