Six months

I can't believe we've been in Winchester for six months already. At the same time, I can't believe it's only been six months. We've developed such great friendships and relationships in such a short time, that it's truly unbelievable that it has only been six months (well, 6 1/2 at this point). When we left Ohio, we were more than happy to be leaving the church there. We were broken and burnt out. We were also heartbroken to leave the few good friends we had there. I still have moments when I feel angry about the situation we were in there, but I'm constantly reminded that we would never be where we are now if we had not been there first. God had a plan. And we know how good we have it now. We LOVE our church. Is it perfect? Of course not. It's full of people. But the heart of the people and the purpose of the church is truly to "Love God. Love One Another. Love the World." We couldn't ask for more. We also have a great group of teens who have really accepted us and who are some of the most spiritually mature teens I've ever known. They want to talk to us and spend time with us. I finally feel like a youth minister's wife. And I would say that Kraig finally feels like a youth minister.

In other news, Kate's got her sweatshirt half off. Not sure how that happened.

On the diet front, not much is happening. Between having a lock-in and visitors last weekend and being sick this week, I haven't done much cooking. Never a good thing. I've lost a few pounds this week, but it's only because I've been sick. Next week is Thanksgiving. Not so promising!! And we're having lasagna at life group's tonight. I love food.

Well, today's mission is to catch up on laundry and the washer just kicked off. Time to go!
