After our last California outing to the San Diego Zoo...
(making final memories)
And a special last dinner out...
(Islands seemed the way to go.)
And an emotional goodbye to our beloved home...
And an eventful 24 hours of travel...
(setting out)
(serious buddy system in full effect)
(our first down moment watching the planes)
(videographer Brodie documenting our journey)
(gotta love "Elka says")
(stuffed animals along for the ride)
(Everyone did AMAZINGLY well on the flights...even Silas and Lily!)
We finally made it to Tennessee!
(in the pouring rain)
We were greeted by dear friends in Atlanta who had received our van and graciously hosted us for breakfast when we arrived. What a warm way to enter our new territory with familiar faces from California!
We spent the day driving up to our new home town and were again
greeted by our sweet friends welcoming us to Tennessee.
greeted by our sweet friends welcoming us to Tennessee.
It was a big day after a big move, and we all definitely slept well that first night!
The next day we wandered around with our friends and enjoyed sweet fellowship.
Then we ventured up to our new home in the making.
The drive in is just our speed...slow.
We have our work cut out for us renovating from top to bottom...
(kitchen before)
But we're up for the adventure and think it's going to be a special place in the Lord's timing.
The weather and green scenery in every view here is brimming with God's creative beauty!
There's something life-giving about being surrounded by nature.
The plans are well in the works to begin the farm.
Sooner than later seems the best time to start.
We're trusting the Lord with each step from here...
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23
