Trip to Kansas

Tim and I were able to take a quick trip to Kansas back in the middle of May from Sat.-Tues. Being able to spend time with the family was a lot of fun. Dad and Mom took us out to eat on Saturday night. Of course you cannot go wrong with eating!! We enjoyed church on Sunday. That afternoon, Karen and I went out searching for a treadmill for my mom and Dad. My siblings and I decided to get them the treadmill for Mother's Day, Father's Day, and their birthdays which all fall in the summer. After 3 trips to Sam's ( a story in itself...and pregnant me just wanted to have a crying breakdown on the 2nd trip...I will spare all the details...(Thanks Karen for going with me every time)...the main thing is we finally got it. By the way, the slide show is just a little picture of how heavy the treadmill was as well as fun! for the boys putting it together). On Monday, both grandparents visited. It was so much fun catching up with them. Dad grilled some really good steak that night which we all enjoyed. We were also able to work in the yard some.


We were also taking the trip to pursue God's will of possibly moving there to work in my parents church. We were very busy on the trip with different activities from the church, checking out houses, job possibilities, etc. We met with the church board on Saturday night. Then Tim and I shared out testimonies during S.S. and Tim had a little lesson. Tim preached Sunday night and then did Teen Bible study that night after church as well. We really enjoyed our time there. The church did invite us to come on as a youth pastor (well Tim at least). After praying about it, we feel like the Lord is leading us to Kansas!!! So now, Tim has been trying to find a job since the church position is part time(it is a little hard long distance to find one but the Lord will provide. We are hoping to move out there by the end of the summer so please pray that Tim can find a job, insurance situation with me being pregnant and everything. We are excited to see how the Lord works this all out. The Lord has been so faithful to us in our few months of marriage, we know He will continue to be faithful through this.

Thanks for all of you who have commented on the previous post of the baby being a boy or girl. The comments are so much fun to read. (If you have not taken a guess yet, be sure to!!) Only one more week, and we find out!!! One last thing, Tim was able to feel the baby move last night for the first time. I have been feeling the baby moving around "for sure" the last week/week and a half...finally Tim was able to feel something too. It was so cool!!!

Sounds like you guys had fun. I'm sad,yet excited too, to hear what the Lord is doing with your move to Kansas. I'm very excited to hear if you are having a boy or girl. I hope the baby is cooperative! That's awesome that Tim was able to feel the baby move. I'm sure he really enjoyed that experience!

P.S. If you do decide to get a hair cut I'll go with you for moral support if you'd like! Just a though.

Ah yes... the treadmill episode... thanks for doing the footwork for the rest of us.

I too am looking forward to seeing how God works out this move to the ministry in Kansas. I know it seems impossible to find a job long distance with just the right hours and not too far from the church, but you're right -- God will work it out.

YAY, YAY, YAY for Tim feeling the baby move. I remember when Dan got to feel both of our babies move for the first time, and it is soooo special.

Can't wait for Friday!

It is so exciting when the Lord shows His will for our lives! I am sure that you are thrilled to be moving back home! We will miss you here!
