Hey guys,
So, today, I am happy because we as a family have finally gotten to host our first party here in North Carolina. It is slowly but surely beginning to feel more and more like home for me, and it's events like tonight that make me think, "Ok, we can do this, after all, it's really not THAT bad..." ;) We are blessed to be able to have our friends from our old church move to Morganton(about 45 minutes away) only 3-4 MONTHS before my parents told me we were moving. They were there when we got here, they have visited many times, they have offered for us to come up to their lake house multiple times(which is a HUGE undertaking!), and they really have made this adjustment period so much easier for me, and for my family. The second family we had was Adrienne, the youth leader at our church that I work with, and her husband Dave. Ironically, they ALSO originated from not only the Chicago area, but from the WHEATON area, talk about small worlds, huh? Anyways, these two families have blessed us immensely, from Adrienne "strong-arming" me into the youth group, and taking me out to lunch or coffee and genuinely wanting to get to know ME, to Linda, my youth leader from my old church remembering tonight that I am allergic to eggs, and providing chocolates for me, in substitution of the brownies she'd made for dessert. Thank you so much to the William's family, and the Gerig Family, and to the many other people here that we have met and begun to form relationships with!
<3 always,
Rose
