The Big Move

We have officially moved to Texas!  We have TX license plates and TX drivers licenses and all of our things are finally here in our new house.  Saying goodbye to our friends in CO was really hard.  Lots of tears were shed.  Colorado was home for 6 years and all 3 of our babies were born there.  Denver will always hold a special place in our hearts!

The whole moving process was not the smoothest ever but it eventually all got done.  The movers were actually supposed to be here sometime between July 19-24 but we found out on the 22nd that they had been delayed and weren't going to be able to get here until the next week.  If them being late wasn't frustrating enough we were going to be out of town the entire next week and the house was being painted.  So we were able to get them to hold our stuff until we got home the next Saturday.

So fast forward to the day we come home from our trip I posted about earlier...my mom is at our house to intercept the movers until we get home that afternoon and a staff member is at church to let them in to drop off Collin's office stuff.  Well we get a picture from the church of ALL of our belonging unloaded from the truck and sitting in the parking lot.  AWESOME.  Turns out they had moved our stuff from the original truck so all of Collin's books that were loaded last were now at the very back of the truck!  So several hours and a lot of work later they get Collin's office dropped off and arrive at the house.  They are about 2/3 done by the time we get home and the house is a disaster.  There is just stuff everywhere.

Now fast forward another week and here we are.  We are pretty much completely unpacked and done with boxes.  We have a few things to put up in the attic for storage, a bunch of trash to have hauled to the dump, and then all of the decor to hang on the wall.  The house is starting to feel more and more like home and I can't wait to get it all decorated! I will post some pics once we get it all done :D.


I really love our new house and have prayed since we bought it that it will be a place for our family to grow, learn and serve in.

And now we have our first Sunday at Greenville Oaks behind us too.  It was a wonderful day but boy was I exhausted after.  We got to meet so many of our new church family that morning and then even more at our welcome party that night!  We are so excited for this new adventure God has sent us on.
