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!
