We're In Mount Pleasant!

We are moved! Sorry for the delay in updating, but we just got Internet at our new place. Josh got a job at The Church at LifePark in Mount Pleasant, so we are settling into life by the coast. It's rainy and humid, but I guess that's about the same as camp was this summer. :-)

God really worked out our living situation here, and we are really enjoying the condo we are renting. We called about this condo the night before we moved....we weren't feeling comfortable about the apartment we were planning to move to and friends of ours knew the owner of this condo. The best part is that it has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so it's got a lot more space than our other option. We looked at it in the morning and moved in after lunch. It worked out great! God is good!

I'm not working right now so I am exploring the area and getting ready for baby Grace. I'm working on planning the nursery too....right now it's basically an empty room, but I'm getting my creative brain motivated! Can't wait for Grace to be here. November is coming soon!

Josh is really loving his job so far. He's one of two student pastors, and there are a TON of teenagers in the student ministry. He is working with middle and high school students, but with a focus on middle school. He got to teach on Sunday morning to the middle school group and it was really fun to start building relationships with the students.

Maggie is enjoying life here. She gets to look out the door and we bought her a bed so she's happy :-)

She loves the view of the pool.

She's very happy with her bed.

We also went on our first family trip to the beach. It was super fun. We will definitely be taking more trips for walks on the beach in the near future! (Although Maggie really loved the beach....the water is just not her favorite. She kept looking at us like "why is the water chasing me?!" It was pretty funny.)

And I don't have too many food pictures yet....but here's one to start with!

Yay for pork chops and getting to cook at home again!

Our new kitchen!....with full-size appliances :-)

Dishwasher!!!! (My personal favorite part)

Second Favorite part - my coffeemaker has a home again!

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers! Continue to pray for Josh as he is starting his new job (and also taking seminary classes) and for our ministry here at LifePark. Also please remember both of us in your prayers as we're getting ready for Grace to come!
