Since we have been back we haven't experienced a shortage of things to do. One of our first tasks was picking out cell phones and plans, a much more daunting experience than in Romania. There are also some things that we can do here that we couldn't do in Romania. We always saw pictures of ArtPrize but never were able to make it until this year.
We visited the beautiful city of Grand Rapids on a very nice warm and sunny fall day.
There were really cool sculptures all over town.
If you look really closely you can see here that this dragon is facing off against an army of tin soldiers.
We really enjoyed the color of this one and the encouraging scripture passages written on it.
This awesome mural was a work in progress when we came to see it.
This was the overall winner of the competition. We got to visit the museum of contemporary art for free and even ate some artesian gelato!
We have also enjoyed seeing some very beautiful color in the trees.
We spent a lot of time looking around for a car, and we were blessed to be able to find one on our 11 year anniversary! We found this 2007 Honda Fit Sport on Craigslist, it was a bit high priced for us but we thought we would go and check it out anyway. When we got there we saw this immaculate, one owner car that has been taken care of amazingly. We talked a little about Romania and the person selling it recognized us from church! We didn't even have to negotiate down the price because they offered it to us at a lower price than they were willing to take from anyone else. We are thankful to God for setting it all up and are very happy with our new ride.
We have also been keeping busy visiting family and friends and getting settled in here. We are already involved with the children's program at church and we will surely find other serving opportunities. Our next step is to discern what God has in store for us as far as jobs go. Please pray for clarity, guidance and providence as we search. Please also continue to pray for us and our kids in Romania as we are missing each other.

You guys have my prayers!
Hello! I knew you were coming back, but I didn't realize you were already back. Welcome:) I guess we should try to have a gathering of the clan sometime... or did that happen and I missed it? Anyway, prayers for the adjustments and finding the right placements.
