At Home In Austin....

Hey everybody! We are aware that our blogging has been less than consistent lately....but here's a brief update.

We are now both in Austin after two weeks of being apart during the moving process. We're happy to be together, and it seems that Jude actually remembered Troy. Our house is still a wreck, but we're enjoying getting started on it. We've had lots of fun with old friends and Troy's family in the past couple of weeks. Yesterday we went to Sea World with Peter and Alisa...it was great. Shamu was delightful, and we especially liked the water park since it was about 100 degrees. Jude likes swimming and looked wonderful in his new swim gear!

Moving has proven to be a bit more expensive than expected (isn't it always?). Since we bought the house, the the AC broke, the stove broke, and we had to buy a new washer/dryer because we have gas hook-ups, not electric, which is what our old ones used. BUT, so far the dishwasher works! YAY!

We are missing our friends in Louisville desperately. It doesn't quite feel permanent yet. The church we've been checking out is great, but of course we don't really know anyone yet. We're excited to make new friends there, but I don't think our seminary friends can be replaced. We'll just have to visit there soon!

Saturday we celebrated our 5-year anniversary! I can't believe it! Time certainly flies, but I guess we've done a lot in five years!

Anyway, we'll post new pics soon. We haven't uploaded anything in a while.

After visiting San Antonio, we keep talking about flying back and just driving up to Austin for the last half of vacation. :)

It was good to meet you on Sunday at church. I hope it can be a 'regular' thing. We are just getting established there. Cynthia said they got go hang out Sunday...I know she's glad your back!! Until next Sunday?

Yup, moving IS always more expensive than originally thought! I'm glad you made it to your new place though and the family is reunited!!! We will be praying that you get settled (into the house as well as in a church) very quickly. I'm glad we got to 'see' you for a brief moment while you were in Spokane :)
