A new home

We can't believe it has almost been a month since we moved to Prescott Valley! It was a whirlwind at the end- tearful good bye gatherings, movers, strep throat and sweet new friends and family waiting for us at the other end. We took a couple days to drive slowly from Cali to Az. We won't ever forget first turning down our little street we had never driven on and opening the door to our home we had never seen- an adventure for sure! The movers didn't come with our goods until five days after we arrived so we had fun camping out in our rental...running around, eating all our meals on the floor, sleeping bags and time to explore. The boys have had fun with all the new sights. For one our back yard backs up to state property with miles of land and mountains, it's breathtaking! Almost every night the boys say "look mommy, the mountains! " as they turn all hues of pink and orangey purple at sunset. The best surprise so far was the 10 minutes of snow we had a couple weeks ago! The boys ran outside in their rainbows (california boys still) and caught snowflakes and threw snow at each other until they were frozen. 

We have enjoyed being a part of Canyon Bible Prescott Valley the last few weeks, our sister church. Next week is our first official Sunday as Canyon Bible Prescott! We have "boot camp" this month preparing everything and then Lord willing the doors will officially open middle of February.

Prescott is Arizona's Christmas city and it definitely is! We have loved being here for all the lights and small town festivities.

I have had my moments of sadness, missing friends and wondering what exactly we are doing in this beautiful place that feels so far away from the familiar. But then I have had many more moments of excitement and wonder. What a privilege and joy to be in a position of uncertainty knowing that God is with us and His plan is already under way. I'm thankful for the growing in faith that is happening in our little family and that we can share this new beginning with our children as well.
