We have made it to TN & are getting settled...

Well, we have now offically been in TN for 2 weeks - what a crazy few weeks it has been! Thank you to all of our friends in Durango who made it possible for us to move out here when we did - we wouldn't have been able to do it without everyone's generousity of their time & energy! From getting no sleep our last night in Durango, drugging our dog with sleeping pills for the plane ride that took a long time to take affect, & traveling through 2 airports on standby with a 6 week old - by the Lord's grace we made it here on August 9th.

John has been working @ Pennisula Village for 2 weeks now and is really enjoying his coworkers & the boys. His cabin is next to a lake, so he is very happy to do so many outdoor activities with the boys. Annie and I have been trying to unpack the house while she naps, needless to say, we still have a lot of books to unpack & 2 bedrooms to organize...John and I finally feel confident navigating our way through our new town, Maryville. I am greatful for all the times that John came without me and got lost driving on his own, b/c he was then able to tell me his mistakes so I could avoid driving all over TN with no clue where I was headed...

John and I think we found the church we are going to call 'home' - the International House of Prayer @ Knoxville (http://www.knoxhop.org/) - we went last night for the 'profetic worship & prayer' session for a few hours. Annie loved the music and got a few gifts from some of the women in the congration. We are so blessed to have the IHOP Knoxville so close to our house - its halfway between our house & John's work...
