Hello World!
I'm back . . . back to blogging for good! We were sans internet for quite some time. It took Verizon a few weeks to set up our signal and then we found out a chipmunk or a squirrel had chewed the phone line which delayed the process even further! Ha! Yes . . . my Dallas friends life here is a bit different. :)
Let's see, where to begin. The good news is that you can count the number of "homesick breakdowns" that I have had on 1 hand. You don't even need the whole hand. Adam has been great through that because he has gone through a major move before. For those of you that don't know Adam is from St. Joseph, MO and he moved to Texas to go to Dallas Seminary (or to meet me!)
We initially had an abrupt arrival in town. Our car was sitting in the front of our new place as we stopped by to clean (our stuff hadn't arrived yet) and someone hit the mirror of the Jeep and did a bit of damage to the paint. It really wasn't that big of a deal though because they left a note and it currently being fixed. We knew God was looking out for us.
We were blessed to stay with a family from the church at arrive while we waiting for our stuff and they took great care of us, made great meals, and showed us around town. We are so grateful for that time as it was a soft landing into PA.

On our first Sunday at church, the hospitality team made us an amazing basket full of Pennsylvania stuff. Delicious treats, foods, candles, a cutting board made from PA wood and on and on. It was amazing and we felt so blessed. One of my favorites in the basket
were the whoopie pies, please see the amazing picture located above. They are cakey goodness with gooey icing. What could be better and why did I not know about these sooner. I will be learning to make these!
We are getting starting to get familiar with the area and finding things to enjoy! One thing Adam and I enjoy is going to the Marina by river and going for walks! There is a 1 mile loop you can walk around. I am looking forward to see the colors change at the marina please see the picture below. You can also rent Kayaks, bikes, tandem bikes, and more here! We hope to do this very soon.

There are many more events to catch up on, but I will be posting most of this week to catch up!
Have a great day!
Sounds wonderful! So happy for you! Aunt Lori
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog again via Facebook. So nice to catch up on all your life's happenings. I know that God has wonderful things in store for you in PA. Moving away from home was a hard decision for Tony and I but it has blessed us immeasurably in calling us to rely on God for provision and one another for support.
Love to you!
Sarah Morlandt
P.S. Are you still making Kim Kards?

ReplyDeleteSarah! So Good to hear from you! I need to add your blog to the "blogs I follow!!" I have had several morning where I wake up and think what in the world are we doing in PA!?!? but then God will quietly bring me confidence in what we are doing.
