We're Here!

Well, we're finally here, and somewhat settled.....The trip down was fairly uneventful, except for the first 5 minutes of it. We were leaving Bainbridge (Asah's hometown) and I was following the Uhaul. He went through a yellow light and I ran the red light because I needed to stay with him. (I had no idea where I was). Anyway, there was a cop directly across from us in the intersection, so guess who got stopped? Asah had no idea and just kept on truckin down the road in the Uhaul. The cop proved to be quite the intelligent one. "Ya'll movin?". Nah, just thought we'd take a Uhaul out for a spin at 5:05 am. He let me go with a warning. "There are a lot of cars out on the road". I wanted to ask him where, but thought better of it. So then I try to catch up with Asah but he's nowhere to be found. 20 minutes later we were reunited thanks to cellphones and his parents helping figure out where I was.

The apartment is so tiny, but we are making it home. The walls in the living/dining room/kitchen are mustard yellow (this is the same room) and the color in our bedroom is called "magellan blue". I think my favorite is the bedroom color. It turned out awesome! We didn't bring too much stuff (except maybe for my clothes). But we did go out and buy a pantry from Lowes because we had no place to store food.
Asah has orientation on Monday and Tuesday. Once he has his schedule his plan is to look for a job.
That's about all the news from here. We'll try to update this thing regularly so our friends/family can keep up with us.
I also thought it would be cool to post prayer requests here as well. God has already done so much in paving the way for us to be down here. It's pretty amazing when you think about it. Maybe Asah and I can sit down and write that out for a post sometime soon. This morning I read something that Lucado wrote in his book, When Christ Comes. "Anytime you speak he listens, make a request, and He responds." We are trusting God with the sale/rental of our home at the moment, and those words reminded me that God is listening when we pray about our home......and that He'll respond in due time. Please join us in praying for the sale of 2816 Golden Club Bend.

We love and miss you!
