Georgetown-first two weeks




We have been here in Georgetown for two weeks now and it has been so wonderful! We love being back in Texas (no offense New Mexicoers) and have enjoyed our church more than we ever dreamed would have. Someone told us recently that its good for born and raised Texans to leave Texas for awhile, live somewhere else and then come back. We agree. We loved living in New Mexico and came to love it as our own, but coming back to our home state has been very special and refreshing, allowing us to appreciate it even more after being gone for awhile. So Texas is good, Terranova (our church) is amazing and living here has been such a blessing. The best thing, though, would have to be our church. We are extremely grateful to God for bringing us to Terranova. It has been so encouraging and the people, preaching, singing, etc. has ministered to us in very powerful ways. God is so good.
There is also so much to do here! Round Rock is five minutes down the road and has everything! And georgetown is filled with all kinds of stuff to do. Yesterday we ventured out to the river and walked along side it (there are sidewalks) and then we took Griffin down to the water and let him throw rocks in the river for about thirty minutes and after that he still wanted to keep throwing them! We love how in Georgetown you are in a pretty big town but you feel like you can escape to nature. We cant wait to go swimming this summer and wade in the river. They have several public pools and even a mini kiddy water park at the rec center.

We have made several new friends and have had dinner with two different families each weekend we've been here. People have been so welcoming and kind for which we are so thankful.
The house we are living in is very nice and has been such a blessing. Please be praying our house in Clovis will sell. We are being taught a lot of patience through this time and trust in God's timing and plan, knowing it is good and perfect.

PS. Tyler is loving his new job and youth group. He is very thankful to be part of Terranova and get to minister to teenagers here. Please pray for him as he continues to get acquainted with all the kids, etc...

Here are some recent pictures of Griffin. OH! And baby girl is doing great! I went to my new doctor last week and really liked him and his nurse. I am excited to have her here in Georgetown. Just about three more months to go! (we still havent decided on her name yet. Suggestions are welcomed...)
