Settling

The last week has been a complete and total blur.  Seriously.  We have had a ton of things to accomplish before school starts and I begin my job tomorrow, and thankfully I "think" we are ready.  

God has been good to us.   We were blessed a welcoming meal the first night here at our apartment, things went smoothly with the transition into the apartment, and registration for the kids at school went off without a hitch.   Of course, there have been challenges with our mail being forwarded and some banking issues, but  nothing to complain about in comparison to the blessings we have received this week.  We feel at peace.  We feel at home.  We feel closer as a family and we feel "lighter".  

I am sure there will be days of feeling homesick and days full of challenges, but overall we feel sure God called us here and can't wait to meet new people, make new friends and see what all He has in store for our family!
