Visitors...

We have a little less than 7 weeks left here at Horn Creek.

Our family and friends are squeezing in there last visits to the mountains.  David is hiking as many mountains as he can (this weekend he will be tackling the Maroon Bells).  We savor the cool air and crisp breezes.  We try to have family time in the hammock as often as possible.  ....and star gazing in the meadow makes me a little sad.

Purge...

Today we continue downsizing our "stuff" and prepare for the "school-parking-lot" sale we are participating in tomorrow.  We are joining 2 other Horn Creek families that are also leaving this fall.  It is so refreshing to go through everything and get rid of what we do not use or need. 

I encourage you to go through your closets, dig in the boxes you have stuffed in the garage, or brave the darkness underneath your beds and PURGE!  You'll be glad you did.  The killer dust bunnies won't stand a chance!

Bare Walls...

The walls in my house are mostly bare.  We have already begun the packing process, which makes this whole thing seem real.  In approximately 9 weeks we will be moving to Missouri.  Leaving the only home we have known since we met.  Horn Creek has been a place of great significance to both David and I.  The Lord used this place to bring us together.  Although Horn Creek holds countless memories for us... I am learning to accept the fact that we must continue to move forward and anticipate the new memories to come.

The Beginning of Something New...

Hello friends and family,

I felt led and inspired to create a blog; to be used as a tool to keep you informed on what God is doing in our lives.  Why now?  We are nearing the end of this current season and will be embarking on our new adventure in about 9 weeks.  Transition and change are never easy... nor do they happen as smoothly as we'd like.  Nevertheless, God is going before us and, as always, has the best for us.  We are excited to see what He does!
