We’re Here!

We have finally made it to Abilene. It was a stressful time of Jonathan wrapping up summer courses in Dallas, packing and moving all with me being pregnant (and moving very slowly!) and having a very curious, fast-moving toddler! :)

We are so blessed to have amazing family who would drop anything to help us out! My poor sister-in-law saw far more of that disgusting apartment than I ever knew existed. :) It made a world of difference to have people there to watch and entertain Luke while I directed and unpacked.

We have only managed to hang one thing on our walls so far, but we’ll get there! We are all loving having so much room to ourselves. Jonathan has done an amazing job of laying pavers in the back to extend our back porch. We love having a yard and a garage!

Jonathan begins teaching at HSU today and is very excited to get started. He’s really enjoying how he fits with the university and the faculty and staff have been so kind to all of us. When Luke was sick last week, the dean of the math department prayed for us during their meeting! We love the community and family feel already. We definitely like that it takes less than 10 minutes to get across town! :)

Here's a picture of our helper. I promise to post more after we decorate a bit more.
