.. hand in mine ..

Summer is ending.

I've gotta admit, I'm glad.  I love the fall. I love my hoodies. I love wearing hats. I LOVE hot chai. My only wish is that this weather lasted a good 6 months out of the year.  I think that's why I love the Pacific Northwest. (Seattle, anyone?) But seriously... yay for cooler weather, FINALLY.

So some news from the Church clan. We're moving back to my home town this weekend. Rapid City, here we come! We're not crazily excited, we love Spearfish and the cute little hippie town that it is, but things are much more affordable down in Rapid. Like houses. Which we're wanting to get here soon.  We were blessed with a FREE apartment, (thanks, grandma!) so we're able to save a ton.  Pray for Cory as the job hunt has started. And for friends. And for the doctor search (which is on-going).

Something we are excited about... Project Church. It seems to be our heart to a tee. Cory and I are getting together with the Pastor and his wife here sometime in the next few weeks for coffee and conversation. We love what we hear about their hearts. The first 'official' church service will be this Saturday at a local coffee shop. Can I just say YAY for authenticity! We're so stoked to see how Saturday goes and to see the way the Lord will work in the community. It will be so fantastic to meet some like-minded people who love Jesus. And hopefully we will be meeting even MORE folks who don't. Maybe we can introduce them? Gah. I love it.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the little stinker. We went to the lake last week, he loved it. He also enjoyed his first guitar lesson from Daddy.  He's such a honey.

Hey,

I just met you guys a second on Saturday night. I was the girl with the crazy blonde hair ushering people into Project, Destri is my name. We are super excited to have you guys coming and being part of this awesome movement God is doing in our city. My husband(Jesse) and I would love to get to together with you guys sometime if you are game. We have two little boys(Josiah,Remi) ourselves and one on the way in May. I saw you are looking for a doctor in Rapid, I am going to Marcia Beshara, she is one of the best, and if you would like her number I'd be glad to get it for you. Well looking forward to seeing you guys on Saturday again. Sorry we were not able to talk much on Saturday night, chasing babies you know. Well our e-mail is fagerlandfamily@hotmail.com if you have any questions or need help in your moving adventure to Rapid. See you soon...Destri
