Wow! To say I'm so over this move is an understatement! We are still trying to get stuff put away. We only have a few pictures on the walls. It's slow, but we're almost there!

Moving day was...fun. Or should I say moving days. They messed up the truck order and gave us a smaller truck resulting in multiple trips. We had KVAG members help us pack the truck, and family and friends helped us unload it all. And boy was it a hot day!! I was completely gross by 8:30 that morning, so you can imagine how beautiful I was by 2. :)  It was a good day, though. I got better acquainted with friends and reconnected with people. For me, that is my favorite part. I was reminded how blessed I am. Even with the giant confusion that is my life, I have a great support system. Thanks again to Pastor Todd and Tina, Pastor Jim, Frank, Jordan, Uncle Carl, Russ, Doug, Chuck, Kari, Travis, and Mikael!! :)

A few days later, I went with Jerrilyn's church to Chapmanville, WV  for ASP. What an awesome, yet exhausting week! I cried a lot, too. Ask Jerr!! It was a good time for sure. Just check my Facebook page for photos. ASP is really big on sharing "God moments" My God moment came on Wednesday or Thursday. I'd been having stomach issues (acid reflux, pms) since Saturday and by then I was doubled over in pain trying to dig a hole for the deck/ramp we were building. I'd taken my allotted medicine (and I hate taking medicine so that tells you how bad this was) and just could take it. I prayed and asked God to get me through the day. And then I got Gibbs slapped (dontcha love it when He does that? I do!!) and I heard him say "This trip is not about your comfort zone." I asked forgiveness for my narrow-mindedness and continued to work. Within thirty minutes, the pain in my stomach was gone. I felt 100% better. Once I got over myself, I was able to give all of me to God and the job He wanted me to do.  Jerrilyn had her moment, too. And let me just tell you, I have NEVER been so proud of a friend in my entire life! I love you, girly!!

I'll post pictures of the house soon, but only when it's completely done!

I'm so happy that we both had our God moments that week! :). I couldn't have asked for better people to spend that week with! Thanks, girl! I'm proud of you, too! :D. You did great things that week! Love you!
