The Reveal...in Newton, Kansas
Thank God for a big, strong hubby!
OMG!! We got it all in Todd and Julie's garage!
We are in a great town, a small town with way more conservative values; where our kids are safe to play outside after dark...but it isn't home yet.
The kids are on day 4 of their new school. The school is so great: Christian Principal, many Christian teachers, etc. Each of them has had good days and tough days. Overall, they are enjoying it. And Jacob? Well, our 10 yr old, 5' 7" 5th grader is bound to be the class heart throb! The girls lit up when he walked in to the room! Yikes!
I am very glad that they have so many neighborhood friends already...even though we won't LIVE on this street more than a few weeks(we're living in Jarrod's Mom's basement until we find a place).
I am feeling a little blue this afternoon. Why? Because it has been a little over a week since we moved away from my beloved New Mexico, the wind blew constantly last week, and it's dark and cloudy today. I think I just need a hug from my parents and sisters, and then I'll be ok.
It's the little things...like not being able to order a "Green Chili Double Cheeseburger at the local McD's; like going to the grocery store and not being able to find decent flour tortillas. After several "disappointments" like that, I nearly cried at the tortilla section of Walmart.
Moving sucks. But it will get better.
Jarrod was supposed to start work yesterday (Monday), but since it's a construction job, and it's rained the past two days, he's been outta luck. Lord, pa-leez give us some encouragement today.
So, if you happen to read this today, send me a hug via email. I sure need one!

wow, hugs to you! and I will pray for you today!
Hang in there, Melissa! The Lord brought you this far, He won't leave you now. Hold tight to your memories, live for today, and know you'll make new memories tomorrow! Love you! Send my love to the fam!
I feel your pain! Bozeman doesn't have a Walgreen's, or Kohl's, or our favorite Chicago pizza place! But it does have the most beautiful scenery I have ever lived in, low humidity, and no bugs! You, too, will find things soon to be thankful for in Kansas. I think you have a great start with those wonderful friends. Hugs to you!
Oh girl, I have been there before! Here is a GREAT BIG hug! I love you girl and miss you! Hang in there!
Here's a hug...
Hi! I found your blog through Jarrod's facebook and I don't know if we've actually met yet, but I had to comment because I relate to this post so much. My husband, Brad is the pastor of RiverPoint. (I'm usually teaching the preschoolers.) We should really be friends. We moved from TX last year and there are so many things I miss! But I love that Prairie Harvest store and I too have thought that would be a FUN place to work, (or Pages, too--I love books!) so anyway, I hope I get to meet you soon and we can meet for coffee and reminisce about how moving sucks! (and we have boys the same age that would probably enjoy hangin' out!)
