Update...

So, we've (I've) been really bad at posting lately, and kind of a lot has been happening. For instance, this is a picture of our new church, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Alexandria, MN. New church, new city, new home, new jobs, new everything. It's tough, and it's terrifying, and yet it's the right move.
The transitions haven't all happened yet. I'm in my office on day 2, and Kristen and the kids just got back to our home (not sold yet) in Tulsa late last night. We'll live apart until May 12, when we'll get to take a vacation together to Florida. Then Kristen will have to go back to Tulsa to do 3 weeks of clinicals. So, in case you're scoring at home, here are some things to pray for:
- Our family, as we live apart
- Our home in OK to sell!
- A good daycare for the kids in MN that we can afford!
- A good transition to our rental house (I get to move in May 1)
- A job Kristen likes in MN
- Good clinical sites for Kristen in MN (and a grad school that cooperates!)
- A good adjustment for all of us to all these changes and more, and a good environment in which to raise the kids
In the midst of it all, I look forward to our kids knowing their grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles better. It's also a good church with a promising future. Anything else I say about all these changes sounds like platitudes, so I'll just stop and say, "We'll. Be. Okay."
