It's Been a Week

It's been a whole week since we arrived here. We finally got all of our things delivered on Wednesday and have been busy unpacking. A lot of our stuff had to go into the garage because it either doesn't fit or there was no use unpacking it since we'll probably move again in a few months.

I got offered a job on Monday, doing road marking and other road work stuff. It's a pretty good job, pays well, has good benefits,room for advancement, my boss is a believer,etc. It seems the Lord really provided this job and quick. But, I've been a little bummed with it. I mean havn't started yet (Monday), I have just always welded and assumed I'd get a welding job (I love welding). I've applied with a lot of different companies, but the only offers I've gotten are in Portland (200 miles) and Moses Lake (80 miles). So, here is where the doubt creeps in. I get great offers from these places and it makes question if we're in the right place, should we move, etc. But, what I have to remember is that the Lord never called us here to weld. So, I guess I'm a road worker for now, but it's still a little hard for me to swallow (That's how pride is).

Anyway, everything else has been adjustment. It's a smaller town (about 160,000), we don't really know anyone (though the people we meet are really nice), and as of now we don't have a real routine yet. I think this week will be good. We'll go to church tomorrow and I start work on Monday. This should really normalize things. Again, thanks for your prayers. I'll post some pictures soon and I'll really try to get Michele to write.

Peace
