Well, we are very blessed people! Our home in Baltimore was listed online for sale and two days later, an offer was placed and we accepted their offer. It was exciting because we put a lot of work into that little home. Our choice of style for the house was kind of rustic (re-doing the clawfoot tub and using it) and quaint (for instance, taking out all the carpet and re-sanding the hardwoods). It was nice to know that our hard work paid off and other people liked the house as well.
We packed up everything into a Uhaul truck, our pickup and Dan's car and work trailer. We made the trek up to New York with Dan driving the U-Haul while pulling the car on a dolly. I drove the pickup truck hauling the work trailer. We made it in on a Friday night quite late.
The next morning, several men from the church came and helped us unload all of the vehicles.
It went very smoothly and quite fast as well!
We have since settled in very nicely and adjusted to the area. I am very much enjoying the country life again! The slower pace of life is just what I have been missing.
Dan keeps himself very busy with preparing sermons, fixing up things around the church and on the property, as well as getting to know as many people as possible in town.
This past sunday was our kickoff of a morning service. We called it "Restart Sunday" and advertised it in the community via passing out flyers and putting it in the newspapers. It was an exciting day and we were able to have a nice picnic after the morning service.
Since that Sunday, we have been keeping busy with follow-up visits and planning for the next few months.
Hope all of you are doing well! I will soon take some pictures with my phone and post them.
