We Are Settling In

I hope all is well for everyone! I can't believe it's almost October! I have really been missing you all in California. We are really praying that we can get more connected in church so that we can make more friends and join a small group.
Kyle has really enjoyed his first official week of work. He has been learning a lot working in the shipping yard. Tomorrow he will be learning about inventory. He is growing a beard for real because he said he was the only one without facial hair at his job. He comes home so dirty that his beard actually looks fuller because of the dirt filling it in. He is looking like a real rustic man.
We can't wait for Grandma Cook to get here next week!! We are so excited. Yaaa!
This week was actually my last week at Charming Charlie because I was trying to juggle nights and days with substituting and I was driving so far. Today I started working at the Hackett Laundry Mat which is owned by our good friends the Williams. It is much closer to home and i am thankful for the opportunity. I am definately trying some new jobs that I would have never thought I would have done before!! I have also subbed in Greenwood and Hackett this week. The kids have been so sweet.
Praise God for all He has done to provide for our needs and helping us to grow.
We also took in a little 4 pound blessing that was found in a horse corral. We have named him Maximus. Hurry Zorro and come meet your new brother! Love you all!

I'm Back!

So it has been one month since I have blogged. Few reasons- one because we have been so busy (which we are thankful for) and two I was feeling overwhelmed and letting all of the changes get to me and I wasn't trusting the Lord in the way that I should. So here I am back on the wagon, praying for protection against Satan's attack and pressing forward.
We have some amazing things to report! Kyle has started his new job at the steel mill and so far he loves it!! We are so thankful to God for this amazing job with great benefits and a steady schedule. He will be working four 12's four days on, four days off. He will switch between nights and days.
We have moved to Hackett which is 25 minutes away from the city. It is just beautiful and we are living in a mobile home, 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, renting from good family friends. We are surrounded by beautiful scenery. We have been painting, cleaning, and unpacking the last few weeks.
I have subbed a few days and continue to work at Charming Charlie. We have tried to take in two different stray dogs only to find out that they live down the street and just wanted a free meal. That's ok I guess. We hope to fly Zorro out this coming week if the weather is cooler. Happy Sunday! I am attending a smaller church this morning with my friend Tatum and Michael. Please continue to pray for protection against Satans attack and pray that we will have a clear vision of how to serve the Lord better in our community. Love you all!
