April, 2010 - Moving to Georgia

April was the month that the Lord took us across the country! We were so blessed to have had the time between seminary and moving to be with our families. That time will always be treasured.

This picture is of Calla at 11 months old.

The timing worked out perfectly to stop in Fort Worth along the way for Darby to receive his President's Scholar award. It was also fun to briefly see some of our dear friends.

We had to take a picture of our little Texas baby in a field of Texas bluebonnets! Calla was so great in the car. She was pretty content to make it for 6-7 hour travel days. We are so thankful for a baby who travels easily. In our trip, we drove through California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia!

On Saturday April 24, we finally drove past this sign.

We arrived to Woodstock, GA to be welcomed by our new pastor and his dear family, who allowed us to stay in their basement while we searched for housing.

We found an apartment and moved in on Tuesday! The Lord provided quickly! We have a 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment that is bigger than any apartment we have ever lived in. The trees are beautiful, and the people are so friendly. All of our neighbors have dogs. Georgia folks love dogs!

This is Darby and Calla in front of our new church, Faith Community Church. The church family was so welcoming to us, and we instantly had a full calendar, being invited over to meet many people. They were so kind to help us move in and unpack and feel at home pretty quickly.
