TIM AND THE LOST BOYS.....

Hey Everyone!!! This is what we did on our first Sunday at Westview Christian Church. Well, this is what Tim did. I just took the pictures (although I was excited to have something to put on the blog)! It's kind of hard to see, but there is a kid in the very top of the tree. He is 11 yrs old, his name is Collin. He's a punk, but what 11 yr old isn't? We started off on the RIGHT foot, cause I videotaped him up there crying for ten minutes b/c he was too scared to jump. He's afraid that I'm going to show everyone at church and put it on Youtube. Awesome, huh? Anyways, it was like 95 degrees outside and I was miserable, but the boys had fun I think. I love this picture; the way they are all lined up in the tree.

This is another GOOD idea that these boys came up with a few days earlier. If any of you have seen the new Disney movie, Johnny Kapahala, you will know what I am talking about. They have this thing that they call a mountain board or dirt board. They thought it would be cool to pull it behind the fourwheeler. They hold onto a rope tied around a metal pole (really safe) and act like they are water skiing. Of course Tim had to try it out. No one got hurt surprisingly.

Well, anyways, we don't know yet how we are going to adjust to life at a new church. I still can't believe that the people are as nice as they are. It's hard to know how to feel. It seems evident that God is in the midst of this, but it's hard to want to move on from Westside. Any Advice?? Leave comments....

WE WENT FROM THE WESTSIDE TO THE WESTVIEW....

So, yesterday was our first OFFICIAL day at the Westview Christian Church in Campbellsburg, IN. There were like 190 people at church on Sunday morning (I don't remember the actual count, but I know it was over 190). That's a good sign, huh? Speaking of signs, it's weird to see our names on the sign. I can't believe how nice everyone is being. They are a super friendly group of people. And I thought that wasn't possible north of the ohio.... :)

This is the church building. It's a nice size. Looks like there are good places to play Hide & Seek. The section on the right is the original building. If you could see inside you would know this by the ORANGE, FUZZY PEWS. They are the ugliest I have seen to date, but pretty sweet too. Then the section on the left is the new addition. They finished it about this time last year. It has a nice gym and kitchen, and classrooms upstairs.

I have a whole lot to say, but I am dragging it out so that I have something to do at work everyday. I AM SO BORED!!!!!!!!!! So, be sure in check in tomorrow. I have some awesome pictures of what Tim did to get INITIATED on his first day by some of the jr. high boys.

OUR SCHEDULES JUST GOT A LOT MORE HECTIC!!!!

So, last night we went to Cambellsburg to meet with the elders. It was their first night of VBS and Tim was asked to lead a class. It went well. He did a good job as always. It would have made me sick to have to do something like that! Anyways, when we went down for snack half-way through, they stood Tim up and introduced him as their new youth minister. I couldn't believe how excited people were about it, (especially the men). Maybe now he'll finally be treated as well as he should! So, he's going to VBS every night this week on top of his normal work schedule at the school. We decided that he would work at the church part-time for a few months, just to make sure this is a good place for us (and vice versa). Attendance runs around 180, and the people are really nice. There is no way that the youth group can compare to Westside, but so far the leadership looks like they have a whole lot more sense :) We'll see! So, please pray for us. And pray that our house sells soon. We're ready to get settled somewhere... I'll put up a picture of the church sometime this week. If we could get a day off together, we would do something cool to put on our blog. We miss everyone. Leave comments!!!!!

TIM HAD A GOOD INTERVIEW....

For anyone who remembered, Tim had an interview on Wednesday. He met with the preacher and a few deacons from a church in Campbellsburg, IN. He said the interview went really well. They said that they would talk to the elders Sunday and let Tim know something early next week. Well, the preacher called Wednesday night and invited Tim to VBS for a few nights next week. I think for the rest of the month he is going to work there part-time. This way the church and Tim can get a feel for if this will be a good fit. We all know how "gun-shy" we are right now! Anyways, I haven't really talked to Tim since Sunday night, so I don't know ALL the details, but if I find out anything new I will fill everyone in. I love my new job, but with our schedules we never see each other. As most of you know, that is a new thing to me and Tim. Thanks for everyone who is checking us out and leaving comments, even if they are crazy....
Oh and pray that our house sells soon. We're stressed!!!!!

HEY EVERYONE....

So, we decided to try this webpage thing to keep everyone clued in to what we are up to. We just spent the weekend with BJ and Jess for Tim's 28th birthday!!!! It was a lot of fun. Sorry I don't have any pictures to show. From now on I will remember to take my camera everywhere, so that you all can see what we are doing. Anyways, for those of you who don't know already, I just started last week with the Census Bureau. It is going really well so far, because I don't really have any work to do!!! Tim has an informal interview with a preacher and the elders from a church in Cambellsburg, IN on wednesday. They are going to meet for lunch before Tim has to go to work. We have our fingers crossed. Tim is especially excited, so pray for us. Keep praying that the house will sell soon too. Anyways, I really don't know much else. Keep checking in on us and leave comments. We really miss the crew in Richmond. Hope to see you soon!
