The last month has sped by like a NASCAR race.November 14th marked our one year anniversary. Woohoo! I'm so thankful for the grace the Lord has given us in our first year. It was a great year for us, full of learning experiences, growth and lots of joy. I'm thankful for the husband God has given me and I am looking forward to many more years with him.
I also spent most of the month packing our apartment. Our lease was up on the 27th, so we packed a moving truck and drove all of our stuff down to Eddie's parents house in New Mexico. It's currently being stored in their work shop and will stay there until we find a place to live in Phoenix. We spent Thanksgiving there with his parents, grandparents and sister, which was a blast. The time was full of good food, Settlers of Catan, and some shopping. I love his family and am thankful to be apart of it.
But not having an apartment means we are living out of our suitcases and "couch hopping" for the month of December. We're currently staying at Ryan and Christy Klumph's apartment. Next week we'll be at the Majeski's and the following week at the Alvarado's. Then we'll do Christmas with my family, head to Faithwalkers, come back for Nick Power's and Steph Jordan's wedding, and then we'll head down to Phoenix.
So it seems like we are in a crazy whirl wind right now, just holding on to our anchor, Jesus Christ. And as I have realized that we are in our last month here in Fort Collins, I have begun to feel the bittersweetness of what's ahead; excitement for the adventure, and a broken heart for what's being left behind. Fort Collins has been my home now for 8 years. But I am even more attached to Summitview Community Church and the home I have found there. I will miss my heavenly family very much, but will be glad to catch up with all of you in our eternal dwelling.
So here begins our last month before Pheonix. I'm going to soak in as much of Fort Collins as I can and hang out with as many people as I can before Christmas. So, if you want to hang with me and/or my husband in the next couple of weeks feel free to call us!
My dear sweet sister. As God is finally calling many out of our holding pattern and giving us marching orders, it's a really exciting and hard time. I've enjoyed having my tent by yours for so long and gleaning so much from your life. I will miss you as we advance for battle, but look for me out on the field. God has amazing ways of delighting us with surprises. I am so encouraged by your faith and cannot wait to hear of all that God does with this faith step!
