Two weeks strong and sweating

Actually, the weather isn't that bad.  Yes, it is 100+ degrees for most of the day.  But yesterday, we sat by the pool after about 7 and there was a nice breeze and it was comfortable, much better than tolerable.  

We have finally found a place to live and moved all of our stuff in yesterday, thanks to the amazing help of our friends, the George Family, and our new ward family.  Wards here are definitely different than Louisiana; something we knew coming into this adventure.  But several people introduced themselves to us at church and offered to help in our move.

We are subleasing an apartment from a member of this ward.  She needed to move out and we needed to move in.  The Lord definitely put us in the same path; tender mercies.  The lease will expire July 21 so we will find some place different before then.  In the meantime, we will be camping out, as Ginny's aunt Jeanette so eloquently described it.  We will go through a few boxes and keep the rest packed.  

Ginny had a second interview with an outreach company today and has a third one tomorrow with the athletic director of a local high school.  We feel really good about this one and hope she gets it.

Bonnie George, of the aforementioned family, and I went to high school together for a year and were best friends.  We have kept in moderate contact with one another over the 13 years since then and she even came to our sealing and reception!!  Now, little Bonnie is a grown adult and has her own family.  They live in the valley and we have become good friends with them.  They were gracious enough to let us stay in their beautiful home for a few days.  We felt like family there.  

Ginny's mom came to help us watch Kaylor as we ran the roads getting different things done.  She was such a big help!  It is nice to have them closer!  My parents are seriously contemplating moving closer as well; that will be a blessing.

Other than that, we are plugging along.  We have several friends/family members coming to visit us in the next month or so and we are anticipating their arrival.
