I feel like I sat down in front of the computer intending to post about a million times in the last 2 weeks and something always comes up to distract me away...
We made it safely to Tennessee! Our only adventures included hitting a bird (it was quite amusing) and avoiding a bike tire that came flying off the van in front of us and bouncing down the road. If anyone tries to tell you that driving through Illinois is boring they are completely correct. AHH We arrived to the smiles and elated faces of family and a few friends who live close by here in Nashville. It was so good to see our little Klondike, too. He's been a blessing this week as we've unpacked and started to work through the emotions of starting over in a new place. It's settling in that we're here now and not jumping on a plane in a week. While we're excited to be "home", it still feels strange. We miss our MN friends a lot and the fellowship we had with them. Thursday night was a rough evening... I can't remember a Thursday night we've actually been home in the last 2 years! We've begun the search for a church down here. It will be a long process I think. We both want FBC to move down here! I'm not sure we're far enough removed or that we've been able to find the closure yet from leaving FBC so it's making our church visits tough. God has a place, we just have to be open to finding it. Jacob is studying hard, only 5 weeks till the bar! The summer is dissappearing quickly. Time to clean up a bit, our parents are visiting this evening. :)

I was wondering how you were doing. I'm glad to hear that you arrived safe and sound. We miss you guys and look forward to reading of your adventures "back home" via your blog. We'll be praying for your church search. It's never easy.
Good to hear you made it to TN in one piece (even though a bird didn't). We miss having you here in MN. Keep us updated on your job/church search and Jacob's bar exam.
We missed you too on Thursday night! We prayed that you are settling in and that you will find a new church home. Glad that you are doing well, but we definitely miss you! Take care.
