Fun with Friends!

Dave and Grace...
A wonderful and generous man from our vicarage congregation provided a trip for our Seymour friends Mark, Katy, Olivia, and Cloe to fly up from Indiana for Dave's ordination weekend. It was so great to have them with us for the weekend!

Moving Day!

Everything we own was in the pod! We were happy to see when it arrived...and on time too! :)

Grace had a good time playing today!
Happy to be in her new home!
Unloading the pod...

A delicious lunch provided by members of our congregation!

Yay! Our first box was unpacked! Many...many more to go!

We're Here!

After traveling from Saint Louis, through Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and Iowa...it's great to finally be here! :) We are staying at Heather's parents house tonight and will head to Waconia tomorrow! We have the final walk through at our house tomorrow and close at 10:00 AM! Big day! :) We will stay with a wonderful woman from our congregation tomorrow night and plan to move into our house on Thursday!

We have lots of pictures from the Larson family reunion that we will work on posting (hopefully soon!) Keep checking back! :)

Beautiful Mountain Views!
