Home Sweet Home?

Well, we've finally reached our destination! We left Chihuahua on May 29 and headed up to CO for a visit with the Dan Fam and Ben and Mia. Kate joined us from MO. One of the highlights was being present for the adoption of our 2 news grand chilluns, Kira and Krista. You can see them on Cari's blog or Kate's. The links to them are to the right of this message.

From there we went to Kate's for a few days then to Camdenton, MO for the annual for the mission's anual Refresher course for furloughing missionaries.

We had the special blessing of seeing Andy and his family, too.

Finally we arrived at Zac and Alyssa's! What a joy! to meet Braden Allen for the first time. He was born in December and we've been practically holding our breath to see him face to face. He's a doll!!


Zac and Alyssa live in Tunnel Hill, GA which is very close to Chattanooga, TN. Our main supporting church is in Chattanooga, so we've decided to spend this year in the Chattanooga area. It is VERY convenient as not only is our church and Zac and his family close, but my sister is right down the road in Atlanta, GA, and Doug's folks are only 6 hours away in NC.

It has been over 20 years since we've lived in the area. It is really good to be back "home". One thing we found when we got here is that rent is higher than house payments. So, we decided to buy a home. We've put in a bid for the comfy little home in the pics below. We should know soon whether we've got it or not.


Here are the front views.



The side yard is where I want to fix up our "patio" and chiminea under the big tree to Dad's left.

is part of the back yard.

We have a HUGE yard. The house is on 6/10 of an acre.

I'll let you know as soon as I can whether we've got it or not!
