It's been too long since I have updated this blog. I guess that is a good thing as it means I have been busy settling into life here in Prosper.

Here's some highlights for us over the last three months:

• Our first visitors - in May and June we had our first guests. It was so nice to have the space to host them. In May we had some long time friends in ministry come and stay, then in June we had one of our close friends from Orlando come visit and in the midst of his visit and unexpected joy to welcome my dad's youngest sister, Marie and her husband into our home. The first time I have hosted them in my life so that was pretty cool!
• Our guest suite -  mostly complete as far as furniture and decor is concerned. Always small things to do, but in general it is looking so good. I love my Americana theme and the cute things I have found so far.
  
• Found a church - this was a biggie! We were struggling a bit to find something that fit us and that we both felt we could thrive. We have been attending what was known as Watermark Frisco, but it is merging with a much smaller church and becoming a completely new entity. It will be great to be in a church that has its own facilities. It's been a lot of schools for us over the last 20 years or so.
• Friends - we've made some friends. One of our co-workers, Brett, introduced us to his in-laws and we have really connected well with them. They are so friendly and have made us feel very welcome. We went to an incredible flea market in a town called Canton - I believe they are the largest markets in the world. Anyway, super fun to go with them and also to feel that we have some people we know outside of our street. :)
• Work - both of us are really enjoying our work and the people we work with. I keep so busy with all of the different entities I work with and Bryce has been very focused on getting his group of responsibilities all sorted out and organised. 
• Weekend Drives -  we've been enjoying getting out and about in the area. We've driven through the areas just north of us and a bit north-west. Lots of small towns and interesting things to see.

• 4th of July - we had a great time this past 4th of July weekend. On the 3rd we went to a small town called Weston and enjoyed a small town Independence Day parade = cars, horses, trucks and more. Super fun!! Then on the 4th we went to my cousin's house about 40 minutes from us and enjoyed a hot afternoon with them all. It was a great weekend!!
