Settling In

Wow - it was very odd yesterday not being "plugged in" to the Internet! This morning I am at a coffee shop drinking my hot chocolate, blogging and checking email. And there's some stuff I'm doing for the house utilities, too, but that's not really important compared to email, right? :-)

These past few days have been very busy! We have been unpacking boxes like crazy and they seem to have multiplied! And my previous comments about packing tape? I really dislike it now! It has been great to be here in Hays, though. Many people have stopped by to say hello, and it's great getting to know people. The gifts from the congregation have continued, and now some meals are being provided. We feel so welcome and wanted! We have a love for the group of people that God has brought us to, and we haven't even had our first Sunday!

Logan is adjusting pretty well. He hasn't been too shy around all the new people and he likes his new room. We are going to get some glow in the dark animals to put on his ceiling. There are already some stars up there, but he wants some dinosaurs, so the search continues!

For today, the plan is to get the utilities changed to our name, get some pictures hung, and get the furniture arranged in the last few rooms. Then I have all my books to unpack, which could take a day in and of itself! I have my first meeting tomorrow night with the elders/overseers, so we are jumping right in. Our phone and Internet are supposed to be installed tomorrow, so hopefully I will be emailing and blogging from home tomorrow!
