we have been in louisville for one whole week now - time has flown in some ways....and dragged in others. we are really starting to get settled in and are enjoying what we have been able to see of the city so far; however we most definitely miss our friends and family back in raleigh. so, here is the short list of what has happened since last Monday. we have:
-packed all of our belongings in a camry and travelled 10 hours in the car, all bundled up with the most amazing 20 month old child ever (he never fussed!)
-searched all over louisville until 11pm to find a crib for Samuel to sleep in our first night
-moved into an apartment that was about 15 feet from a major intersection (and also had a broken water heater, heater, and dishwasher)
-moved into a second apartment (on the second floor) that is much nicer (now that we have eliminated a residual smokey smell
-had days when it has sleeted here
-had days of 75 degree weather with gorgeous sunshine
-fed the ducks at our apartment out of our hand (they walk up to you - is this safe? probably not!)
-tried a new church
-made many trips to walmart and target
-met a few neighbors (at both apartments - haha!)
-begun to get to know the staff of the chick-fil-a store that jeff is running (eaten dinner with one of the married couples that is in leadership)
and our least favorite, yet perhaps most memorable, louisville memory would have to be our trip to the ER early this morning to take Samuel in. Praise God for His faithfulness and healing, as Samuel is already feeling better!
We are so grateful to be on this journey together as a family and under the guidance of our Lord. We feel such a peace that this is exactly where we are supposed to be at this time in our lives. The Lord is already doing wonderful things in our family and in our marriage and we have expectant joy as we wait for what lies ahead. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
here are some pictures of Samuel before we headed out to church yesterday:

What did you guys have to take Sam to the ER for? Not exactly how you want to spend the first week, and that first apt sounds awful. Glad things are working out and we do miss you!
Oh no!! Poor Sam! What happened?? Did yall decide to just pack the crib wherever you go, or what? I kinda wish we would have done the same thing for Charis, but the pack in play has worked out well, too... I'm so glad you've already met another couple! That makes things a little easier! :) Can't wait to keep up with yall in Looeyvull!
