First off, we made it to Santa Maria and have been living in temporary lodging for three weeks now! Much too long, but we move into our new house on Tuesday. With the process of buying in a horrible market we have had our ups and downs since we put in an offer over two months ago. But, patience has paid off and we love the house and love the neighborhood. We can't wait to get settled. We have spent the past few days cleaning and painting, which is extremely difficult with an energetic two year old who wants to help with everything! But we are trying to adjust to life here in CA which is incredibly different, not having any friends or family around, but we are doing our best. It is often lonely and Ave misses everyone terribly, however, we are excited about the new adventures God has for us here.
Secondly, Avery is two! Avery's birthday was on the 21st and we have entered the Terrible Two's with full force. She has changed so much in the past month. As she has had much, MUCH more to say and has an opinion about everything! We had a birthday party for her before we left and then, on her birthday we took her to the zoo in Santa Barbara. We've had so much fun. Lots of pictures to come!
Finally, with so many changes we will try to update you as often as possible. We will be without internet for a week or so, again. But will start blogging as soon as we get it back. We can't wait for you all to see what we have been up to and as for everyone in Great Falls, we miss you! (But not so much the weather.) God bless you!
