Moving-In Day!

Saturday was a big day for us. With many helpers, we moved all of our stuff into our new house! We spent a day and a half doing some major cleaning and then yesterday a bunch of guys from church loaded our stuff from storage onto trailers and trucks and brought it over to our house. We had 40-50 people helping at different times. We had several people cleaning throughout the house and many people were out in the back and side yards tackling weeds and other debris. By dinnertime all of our stuff was inside, the yard was clear and all the junk was hauled away! Amazing!! We weren't quite ready to sleep there yet, but are hoping to be ready for that in the next couple of days.

We had a wonderful Sunday today. The blended Spanish/ English worship was great and Scott got to preach for the first time as Lead Pastor of The River CRC! (It went well and he even had one of his Seminary professors there!) We continue to feel very blessed!

Guys tackling the back yard. By the end of the day, this was all cleared!

A crowd taking a break to watch the guys trying to pull out a bush with a suburban. (It didn't work!)

Katie and her friends who helped put her bed together and organize her room.

Looking much better!
