We have made it to our new home in Iowa Falls!  It has been a fun (but crazy) past week. Paul was installed as pastor yesterday.  Beautiful service and great fellowship!  Our new home is lovely...more than we deserve.  I just hope that I can make it look nice with all of the "junk" I've brought with me.  I know that many hours were spent in preparing for our arrival.  Many thanks to all that helped!

Also, many thanks to my sister-in-law, Amy, who helped with unpacking!  She kept me going when I wanted to curl up into the fetal position and sleep for about 3 hours!  Our good friends, Gary and Barb, were also here for the installation.  They drove a long way to be here for us and it is also greatly appreciated!

Today was spent driving Susan back to school   Poor girl!  She did not want to go and cried A LOT!  This is very much not like her.  I pray that she can be diligent in her studies this week.  She will be back with us on Saturday.  We will also be hosting an international student over the Thanksgiving break!  Her name is Elisabeth.  She is from Germany.  Looking forward to that experience.

Paul's mom will be with us as well over Thanksgiving.  Looking forward to spending some time with her.  She is just going to love walking around downtown and exploring with us!

Forgot to mention...had snow and sleet on the way back from taking Susan to school!  It was a very tense drive but I made it!  So tired...must get sleep!
