The flights all went well and we’ve gotten to spend a lot of time with Ange’s family. The house we’re staying at in Kokomo is amazing. Jetlag hasn’t been too bad, but we do feel a bit sluggish. While we’re in good spirits most of the time, we can feel the emotional strain for the last few weeks. It’s been such a whirlwind and there are so many strong and often opposing emotions – happy to be with family and friends, uncertain about jumping into the US medical system at 8 months pregnant, relieved to have a break from ministry, missing our good friends in Ireland, sad to be pulled away from what God is doing there, shaken up with the suddenness of it all, very peaceful in God’s care and provision. Sometimes it changes from minute to minute. But it’s good. It’s real life and it’s an adventure.

We’ve been taking it really slow and have mostly kept to ourselves so far. We really want to see everyone, so please don’t be offended if you haven’t heard from us yet. We’ll get around to everyone eventually and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’re going to be in our neighborhood!

mark and i met for a quick picnic lunch today at a little park about half-way between home and mark’s office. when we got out of our cars, we stepped into honkfest 2008. the geese were going nuts! we looked at each other and laughed, then proceeded to our quaint bench by the river. all the wildlife seemed excited, but we couldn’t figure out why…until we saw one goose on top of another…then another mount. mating season? i hope so. regardless, it was a delight to watch the white swan, grey goose, mallards, and dozen or so canadian geese having a time.

i always feel kind of sad posting without including any pictures. so i went outside today and took a few photos of our new neighborhood. hope you enjoy!
