Hello From Seattle

Where to begin? The story is a long one and I can't do it justice here, but I do want to say that God is in it all, and He continues to amaze us each day as life unfolds before us.We praise His Holy name, because without Him, we are nothing.
Three weeks ago now, we pulled away from our Clovis house with our awesome friends, Rich Kowamoto and Yvonne Downs to make our way to our new home in Seattle Washington.
God has seen fit to give Jeff a job here with the Seattle's Untion Gospel Mission. We will be working with the homeless and addicted people in this city and we are thrilled!
I wish I could tell you all the things God did, to bring this about, but you'll have to come visit to hear the whole story :]
Anyway, our drive was perfect. We had a blast together and arrived to find our realtor with keys in hand to our new home.
We live in the community of West Seattle and are just a few blocks from the Sound.
To say it's beautiful here is an understatement.
Below are pictures of our home as we found it. A 1935 house, it is in great shape, but the walls were very dirty and everything was dusty!
Yvonne and I spent one whole day scrubbing the little kitchen from top to bottom for example.
I am having great fun setting up house. I'll keep you posted on things as they
progress.

Oh I miss you so much! I am so glad you like it there. I can't wait to come visit and see all the fun things you did with the house. I hope you continue to make fun new friends and see the great things Seattle has to offer. Sounds like you have been having "big fun." Looking forward to seeing future posts :)

So, where are the pictures?! You can't tell me, "here are some pictures", and then not have any pictures! What is that about?! Get them posted so I can see!
Spent a couple hours with your girls, your two sisters and sister in-law, and Avery.....wish you could've been there too - living far away from family stinks! I thought of you often!

Happy Birthday Eugenie! Enjoy the day. Praying God's best for you in this new year of growing and adventure.

So how is the house coming along? Knowing you it is a beautiful home. Can't wait to see pictures or hopefully come up.

Love, Kay
