Well, we have been in Virginia for an entire month now! Lots has happened, good and bad. I will list the bad to get it out of the way: our moving company stinks and our neighbors are LOUD! That is the worst of it.
There has been LOTS of great things, too! Camp went great. It has been a lot of fun getting to know so many new people. I shot a gun for the first time, and I found out I am pretty good with a bow and arrow. Some of Nick's underware were taken as a prank and left in the rain. Luckily, he has extras!
The venues (services) have been awesome so far. All of the students seem to be excited we are here. We have awesome volunteers that are ready to help as much as we need them to.
It has also been really nice being close to family. They have already taken care of us! They watch Malachi every Thursday night, and they feed us, too! :)
Malachi loves it here. He keeps asking when he is going to get to go fishing. He seems to like his school. I don't think he has made any real friends yet, but he plays with all of the kids in his class. I am excited that he has some boys to play with at church! He hasn't wanted to carry his pink purse and baby doll nearly as much!!! :) He calls the church "The Party Church," and loves that he gets donuts and cookies. He also is excited that we have stairs in our house and a pool. It would be nice to see all of this from a child's perspective!
We have truly been blessed. The church people are so loving and supportive. The town is gorgeous, though I am having to get used to all the people! Now if it will just cool down everything will be great.
I think one of the best things is that there are LOTS of Dallas Cowboy fans here! I thought I would be all alone, but they are everywhere. It just proves how awesome they are! Poor Nick, though. I have not found one 49ers fan. Of course, there are not many anywhere so that is not a surprise! ;)
I guess that is about it for now. I will try to start posting better stories and put up some pictures soon. We miss our Oklahoma families, but we are very excited to see what God has in store for us here!
