On the move...

Well, we are on the way to Washington, to our new assignment at McChord AFB. We got on the road last Saturday and made it to my sister's house in Ellijay, GA for a fun visit with the cousins. We then had a long day's drive to Valparaiso, my hometown, and spent several days with my parents, skiing and kneeboarding and trying to adjust to the humidity of N Florida. Sticky!
Mike and I dropped off the kids in Panama City on Friday and we went over to Tallahassee to visit a few friends from college/seminary days whom we haven't seen in ages. What a great time of catching up with Pat, who was our best man at our wedding, and Shuf, who was our campus minister at FSU. As always, it's fun to drive around Tally and FSU~ Go Noles!
We came back to PC to celebrate Mally's 12th bday with Mike's family. Mike's brother, Bill, is running for School Superintendent for Bay County, so the kids get a kick out of the signs and billboards with his picture and name all over the place.
Yesterday we visited Mike's church where he grew up and was ordained, Northside Baptist. It was wonderful to see many old friends who were formative in Mike's spiritual journey. Another fun time was Sunday afternoon when we headed over to Wewahitchka to see friends from our first church where Mike pastored, Westside Baptist. We had dinner with Harold & Lisa Dorman and had fun catching up and remembering the stories of our times together in Wewa.
Lots of catching up with old friends seems to be the theme of our trip thus far. Pray for us as we take Eli to the airport this Thursday to send him back to Ohio. He will stay with some dear friends until school starts in August and then be off to his first year at Cedarville University. We will head to Tucson, 3 very long days pulling a uhaul across Texas! Ugh!
Signing off for now...
