HI ALL!

Here we are writing to you for the first time from Jonesboro, AR! We are so excited to be here and to be able to finally settle down a bit! We have been here for a month now and and three of the four weeks we were doing some significant travel. Once to Murray for a wedding, once to memphis for 4 days for seminary class, and once for almost a week and half to Tampa, FL for CO return training for our students on summer project. So we are finally getting settled.

Brett's birthday is next week and I had a big surprise for him a few days ago! Brett's office had been totally neglected since we have been here. He was using an end table for his desk and had no real organization of furniture mainly because he was missing the key element to an office. SO I had been looking on cragistlist for a few weeks for a great desk at a great price. And the Lord provided! While Brett was out of town for a day I painted his office, got his desk and furniture all moved into the office and hung his map, cork board, and guitar on the wall! When he got home and saw his birthday surprise he was beyond thrilled and couldn't believe his eyes!! I was so excited that he loved it!!!

So now we are just trying to get the small updates to our home taken care of before school starts! So we painted our living room yesterday and finally got everything for the walls hung up, and tomorrow we are starting our bedroom and hallway! I'll be back with pictures soon!
