All Moved In

Well to those of you who read this thing (which is exactly a couple people) Jen and I are completely moved into our apartment in Kingsland. We're pretty excited, needless to say. We have been busy since coming here doing things like getting set up, looking for jobs, and meeting with our pastor. Those things have gone well except we still don't have jobs but...
Jen is going for a nanny interview today for a new born which would really suit her fancy and Jon is following up an application sent to a construction company that is looking for a green horn construction worker so things are looking up. Pray for us as we also pray for you.

On the road again

Well tomorrow we will hit the road once again, this time its off to Georgia for good. Its been a good three weeks here in Virginia. Jon's parents have been very helpful and gracious letting us live with them as we are transitioning, but now its time for us to strike out on our own. Today we re-packed Jons parents mini van, getting all of our possestions (including 2 bikes) into the van. We'll drive all day tomorrow, move into our appartment on Tuesday; we'll continue to look for jobs as we settle in. Jon's mom and sister are planning a visit next weekend to trade cars and bring Jon's guitars (which didn't fit in the van) down with them. Its an exciting time for us and we are excited to see God work as we trust him in everything.

Drive Back and Fort Pulaski

For those of you who know me (which would probably be everyone considering this is our blogspot) you know that when I drive I decide in the moment to take detours. Today's detour was Fort Pulaski in Savannah. It was beautiful! We really were fortunate to take a detour to such a nice place. We have taken some before that were laughable, but this one was nice. It was good to get out and stretch our legs.

This old lighthouse was about a miles walk from the Fort. We tried to get closer to it but once we got this close we realized it was on its own little island. It was still pretty from here though. It an old lighthouse. It was made in... a long time ago... We got back safe and sound to VA and plans are in progress for moving into to our apartment in GA next Tuesday!

We Have An Apartment!

I don't think in the history of the universe has anyone driven as much in one day as Jen and I have. I don't think we ever left the car. I take that back, becuase I know that we got out of the car in at least one place today because we got an apartment! Yes that's right. We didn't think things would happen this quickly but on the first day of looking God gave us the right one. And we found out later that we are next door to my best friend Josh Bostic. That was a complete "accident".
We will drive back to Virginia tomorrow so pray for us with safe travel and also pray because we still don't have jobs in GA, so we'll need to be finding those soon.

The drive

Today we drove down to GA in search of a place to live until missionary school. We got up early to leave and started down the road. Shortly after we left we got a phone call from my good high school buddy "Boot" who asked us if we were driving past his place. We were so we arranged to stop in and see him. His mom surprised by making a great lunch which kept us from having to buy another meal on the road, and Boot called a few of our buddies and they came over at the drop of a hat. It was so cool to see them after 3 years. 3 years! Thats too long for friends, but hey, sometimes thats the way it is. We were sad to leave but after an 1 1/2 hours we had spent all the time we could and kept driving.
We drove all day and made it to my Uncle Ted and Aunt Janie's house by 9. They graciously opened their home to us to stay while we look for a place to live. They are the first thing that has worked out for us so far in this trip. Things just seem to be falling through all around us with jobs and apartments, but at least this has worked out. We don't know what we'll find tomorrow but we know that God is watching out for us as always so we are at peace.
