A Glorious Mess!!!

We wanted to let all our friends back home know that we finally got our stuff late Thursday night (around 9pm) after spending all day trying to get it released from the port. It was like having Christmas in September. Our kids definitely thought so! And although our house is a complete wreck, it is absolutely beautiful.


I think the most beautiful thing was being able to sleep in our own beds. It's like being on vacation for a while and longing to get home to sleep in your own bed, know the feeling? We went approximately 57 days without our belongings. Second to the bed was our couches, and how can you rank long lost books (I still can't find a few that I was particularly looking forward to holding again. I'm sure they will show up.

At any rate, thanks for your prayers and encouragement. We finally feel like we can settle down and begin a routine.

Hey Fergusons! We sure do miss you. The kids enjoyed seeing pictures of Colton's birthday. We saved a few to our computer for our screensaver viewing pleasure. We know you are where God wants you, but our hearts still long for you here. Know that you are in our prayers. Hi Justin, Kevin, Miranda, Jason and Colton. Austin, Addison, Anna-Kate, Ayden and Asa send their love, as do Kevin and I.
