It's been nearly 6 months since our big move and we are feeling pretty settled. However we thought it would be easier to find a Church community once we moved out here. We have found it to be a bit of a task. We are still searching and feel like we're getting closer.
What we have stumbled upon in the meantime is something we did NOT expect-- a WONDERFULLY loving, vibrant neighborhood community. We could never have dreamt of having such caring, giving people all around us. While we were in California we had NO worries about Shaddie Bear or our house, garden, etc. because it was all in such great hands! What a blessing!!
Little Bear has made some great friends already and so have we. And Baby Sister has 3 new baby girl friends on the street--one is about a month old and the other two are expected to arrive in the next couple of months.
Daddy Bear has to work the occasional night shift so the kids and I try to do something fun to keep our minds off of his evening absences. At just about any point in the day we can walk outside and find friends to talk to, but there is a group of us who gather quite frequently (5 houses in a row) and we really enjoy spending time with each other. Last night we had a Brisket BBQ and a cookout with some of these awesome neighbors.
Our fire-pittin' dry nights are almost over here as autumn is arriving. :(
S'more please!!
Thank you Lord for unexpected blessings!
Such precious pictures of Little Bear and his friends- and an adorable picture of you three!!! I'm SO glad you've found a wonderful community just waiting for you! I know they're thrilled you're there, too! Miss you living down the street!!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see the family happy and healthy. It is wonderful that you are so happy in Washington, even though I miss you. Harry and I are waiting for the birth of our first grandchild due date Nov. 2. Take Care.
