We're Still Alive...

Hi folks - sorry for being m.i.a. the last month. Has it really been a month since we packed up our lives and moved across the Pond back to the good ol' US of A? A month tomorrow we landed in Seattle and life has been a whirl of activity ever since.
Josh and I calculated today that between returning from Scotland, three trips to Minnesota, one to New York and one to Atlanta we will have covered some 40,000 miles of air time within 6 weeks. All that recycled air is probably wreaking havoc on our brain cells.
But, the good news is that the big question we were facing one month ago has now been answered. Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church outside Minneapolis, Minnesota, has asked Josh to be their minister and he has accepted. We're going to be Minnesotans...
We are excited about this next step - about the church and about getting to know the Twin Cities area. We are finally doing what we have planned and trained to do for six and a half years.
So, another few weeks in Tacoma and then we head to Las Cruces to spend some time with J's family. We'll pack up the stuff that's stored in Cruces and then drive up to St Louis where the rest of our stuff is, gather that and then drive up to Minneapolis. Doesn't that sound like fun?
But for now, I have a trip to NYC to look forward to. My sister is performing her masters recital at the end of the month and I get to go!!! It's so nice to finally be in the same country as my family...
