In the last two months, we've...

...relocated internationally

...visited friends and family in five different states

...settled into a new apartment and town

...applied for, aquired, and begun new jobs

...started our studies at seminary

...among other things. So you understand how the blog fell off the face of our earth for a little while, right? We hope so.

It was amazing to see so many of you and catch up in real life! We are so thankful for the time we were able to spend this summer with family and friends before beginning this new season.

The Lord has provided so well for us. By way of a brief update, we have moved in to an apartment in Highwood, IL, about five miles from TEDS. Ben started working right away for an older couple in a neighboring town, putting his cleaning and housework training to good use two days a week. He also works one night a week on campus at the athletic center. I was hired at our local Starbucks, only a mile from our apartment-perfect so that I can bike to work. We have both started classes at TEDS and are finally feeling a sense of routine settling in... thank goodness. We are excited to be here, and overwhelmed by the Lord's provision yet again. We are thankful.

We are also thankful for your prayers for us in this time of transition, and, er, minor life changes. Thanks for your love and support...
