Latest update.  Tim Key was here last week, and we had so much fun getting to see someone from home.  We went to Tim Keys Dads house and got to hang out with his family, went to eat with them, the beach, and just had a great time.  What a blessing it was.  We also went hiking and got to see a waterfall.  Our kids got a little tired, but they did great.  They were sad when we told them it was time for Tim to make his way to Bethel.  This week we registered the girls for school.  On wednesday they had a uniform exchange, and we were so blessed to be able to get almost all of Joys uniforms for free.  Our little Faith was too little for most of them, but we did find 2 skirts that I think we can take in.  That was so awesome that they had Joys perfect size.  We are so blessed to have a pool at our apartment also.  We spend a lot of time there.  It has been 2 months since i have been in a mall, last time i went was with Chelsea right before we left.  I miss all of my girls so much, love you all : )  I have made some young friends here to and we are going to have them over for a game night like we used to do with our youth back in katy! I can't wait.  We feel so blessed to be a part of our church family here.  Adam has made so many connections with men his age who love the Lord passionately.  I have met some wonderful ladies as well that I have plans to hang out with.  I am so excited for what the Lord is doing here in Ventura and Oxnard.  I do miss my friend Bobbie: )  Miss meeting at Chick fila and having our play dates, talking about motherhood, and sharing all the things going on in our lives and encouraging each other.  Well what else is new.  Joy turned 7! We had a birthday party for her at our pool, and we were so blessed to have everyone she invited show up!  The people are so loving and caring, and I am so excited to be a part of their lives.  I applied at starbucks in Vons (Its like a Kroger) and will start putting my application in more places since the girls start school in a month.  Faith will be entering jr-k, not to be mistaken with preschool, and Joy will be entering 2nd.  The school is intense, they said Joys may be a little behind, but should be fine as long as we work with her before school starts.  They have amazing teachers, and we know they are going to get an awesome education. We received a word about by our being obedient moving here our children will be blessed.  I know it true.  Pastor Jude and Becky are amazing, and just to see how their children love the Lord and passionately pursue Him is so encouraging. We have been wanting to know how our cd is doing on itunes, but still have not heard anything.  Just yesterday we received a card with some money from one of you out there : ) Thank You!  It is a huge help.  Ok, well thats about all I can think of right now.  We are getting ready to go to youth tonight, can't wait!  Love You All!

California

Let me start by saying, sorry it has been so long. I know many of you dont know any of our journey for the last month, so just to catch you up.  We left Katy Tx, on Monday June 13. It took us 14 hrs to make it to El Paso where we stayed with Adams Dad.  The next Morning we went to my Grandmas to visit, and after that we drove to Chicos to meet my sister for lunch.  On our way to Chicos we were sweating and it was so hot because our air stopped working.  We took our car to a mechanic after lunch, and sat there for 3 hrs to hear that it would cost $1100 to fix.  I suddenly remembered we bought the warranty when we bought it, so we called the Ford dealerships, and sure enough we did have it under warranty.  We were planning on leaving in the morning, but... they had to order the part from Phoenix, and so our 1 day El Paso trip, turned into a 3 day El Paso trip.  100 dollars vs 1100, I think it was worth the wait : ) We got our car back around 5pm and headed straight out to Tuscon where we stayed the night with our friend. The next morning we ate a great breakfast and headed to Indy? California I think, well What can i say about that trip, but due to our car being towed, the bumper was practically about to fall off lol.  Saturday rolled around and we headed to our new home.  Oh how I had been waiting, we were supposed to get here thurs and it was already saturday!  We made and it is so beautiful.  Cassia stopped by to visit us.  Our apartment is on the third floor, and there was NO WAY we could move our stuff up, so my wonderful husband found and add on craigslist and got us movers for $180 to move all our furniture up for us, when it was all moved in it was 6:30 pm so basically we opened up boxes just to find towels and clothes for sunday morning!  IT WAS WONDERFUL, I LOVE THE CITY CHURCH!! They were all so friendly, and after church Pastor Jude and Pastor Becky invited us over for lunch.  Oh yes, this Sunday was also Fathers day : ) Faith just fell in Love with Pastor Jude and his boys haha. They mentioned they were going to Disney Land the next day and invited us if we'd like to come, so we did.  It was Adam first time that he remembers, and the girls first time ever.  It was a wonderful time!  It is so big I'm not even sure we got to see a quarter of it but it was sooooo fun! The first week consisted of unpacking, hanging pictures etc... The next week consisted of Adam job searching and me helping with City Kids camp! There was 88 kids for there first camp ever!(Joy was one of them) It was perfect timing because they got to make some new friends. We went to the beach everyday of camp.  We also have a pool at our apartment so I think I have gone swimming and to the beach more this past 3 weeks than I have in the past 6 yrs. We have been changing our registration and plates, insurance, and all that other stuff that goes along with moving.  Looking forward to being completely settled in.  Monday we have to take our California Driving test, AHHH!! Just saying, they have weird roads over, you have to turn on a loop on the right to go left on the freeway? Doesn't make since to me.  Oh ya, and I really miss our Katy Walmart : ( Just wanted to give you all a quick update : ) Love Yall, The Lord is good all the time!
