update

Just wanted to give a quick update to everyone...Eric is in Gulf Port, Mississippi (actually on his way home right now) from the 2nd half of the high school mission trip. He will be back to Sioux City tomorrow night. Maddie and I arrived last night at about 10:30pm from a great time in Indiana. My sister's wedding was great...she looked beautiful!

The great news is that we are closing on our house on Monday...Finally! Thanks for all of your prayers and please keep them coming! We miss you all!

Gulfport mission trip

This morning at 7am, our high school team left on their mission trip to Gulfport, Mississippi. I am going to Indiana tomorrow to be at Kate's sister's wedding and then I will fly down and meet the team on Monday night. Please pray for the team: pray for safety as they travel today and tomorrow; pray for unity among the group; pray for them as they minister to the people down there. I am looking forward to joining them next week; I'm looking forward to the wedding this weekend as well.

Buffalo Wild Wings

One of the disappointing things (although not more important than: friends; families and students I worked with; softball, football, volleyball leagues; etc.) about leaving Rochester was that Sioux City had no Buffalo Wild Wings. However, driving around one day, I saw the signs for a new BWW. I was so excited I had to drive by to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me. It opened last Monday, June 4. Since today was Tuesday (wing special day), I decided I had to go, even though I had no one to go to lunch with ;-(. So I went there, ordered my food, and then I saw a family from the church that I know - the Ackermans. I think it was a sign from God that I was supposed to be at BWW today (and every Tuesday from now on). I had my normal 10 medium wings and 5 honey BBQ - so delicious!! If you ever need me during lunch on Tuesday or when the Broncos game is not on local TV, you know where to call!

Vacation!!

Well we are still not in our house...now living in the basement of some people from the church. They are so nice to take us in, but we are eager to get into a house to make Sioux City feel more like home. We are hopeful to be able to get into our house the last week of June...PLEASE KEEP PRAYING! In the mean time Maddie and I are heading to Indiana in the morning for a 2 week vacation. My sister gets married next Saturday so we will help with last minute details and spend time with family. Eric will join us on Wednesday, but leaves right after the wedding to go to Mississippi for the 2nd half of the high school mission trip. Just thought I would update everyone. That's it for now. We love and miss you all lots...thanks for all of you that helped babysit, bring food, and move us this week! We really appreciate it.
