fantastic weekend

Well, after one of the most stressful weeks I have had in quite some time, we got out this weekend. Got the kids downtown and to the park. This place is awesome. I am seriously just so impressed with the way people live down here. It is what I hoped for God and family first! They preached in church today's Philippians 1:12 about Paul's imprisonment and him spreading the gospel. They talked about how even in a bad situation, you can ALWAYS advance the gospel. Well, I can say that during this horrible week that I just had, I have never had so much love and prayers from people I don't even know! makes me want to spread the love even in a bad situation. God know exactly what he is doing! I have no regrets about leaving. It would have been fantastic to have my family and friends this past week, but God knew exactly what I needed and for that I give thanks. I give thanks for this beautiful weekend that he gave us here in Charleston, We were able to get out and enjoy the beauty that is Charleston. Enjoy xo

Here we go!

First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of pictures! The past week has been total and complete chaos! It is so true that you don't realize how much stuff you have until you move it....to a house with no basement! Anyways, after a few trips to the goodwill, we are pretty much unpacked. And I am so excited that the kids should be here some time tomorrow! I'm missing them beyond words!

 So, I would like to share a bit about how incredibly awesome this place is! At first I was terrified! Of course we have been here several times, but never to summerville. We just kept reading online how wonderful of a community it is!  We took an gamble, and also rented a house we have also never seen! There have been zero disappointments! We are exactly where we want to be. The neighborhood is adorable and very quiet. We are on a corner, and across the street is a lake with a fountain. The area is very small town but has a ton to offer! We are back a bit where there is a ton of gorgeous nature and the live oak trees are lining the streets. It's just beautiful. Then there is there is a a Main Street that is the historic part with lots of little shops and fantastic places to eat. Let's not forget about the wine bar!! And to too it off, there is a huge shopping center with all of my favorite places... Except barnes and noble. I will try to survive though. All in all, ther me is nothing I don't like. (Except for maybe the water. Stl just has the best!!) The beach is a short drive from here and downtown just never gets old! I just cannot express how much I love this place and it just feels right. I cannot wait to get the kids here and show them everyhing! How lucky I feel that God gave us this chance to make a change!   My first goal here is to develop an accent... Yes that's right, a good old country accent. The draw down here is awesome and I want it! Ha! Also, tomorrow we are going to check out a church! Pretty nervous about this mostly because First Christian was just incredible.


  Anyways, I'm hoping to get some pictures up very soon of our new life! Thanks again for all the well wishes! We couldn't be happier! Xo
