Wrapping up June.

 4th day in our new place, and we love it already. We randomly came across this apartment for rent 1.5 weeks ago and went to check it out. It ended up being GREAT so we jumped on it and are now moved in :) It feels so good to have our own place. This morning (after Darren surfed, of course) we made breakfast and enjoyed a fresh ocean breeze as we ate jalapeno cheddar bagels w/ cream cheese and fresh fruit and sipped a french press.


We really do want every one of you to come visit us. Scroll down, you'll see why :)

My surfer dude!



Now we can grab beach chairs + surf boards and walk down to the beach. We are living the life and are having fun :) June gloom has lifted and the deep blue skies and warm sunshine are back!

Darren and I are both doing well. With his tan and longer hair, he looks quite like a surfer these days. I am feeling really better out here. and I never want to take that for granted. Last week David and Wilma, our pastor and his wife, left town for an Acts 29 pastors conference and we stayed at their house with the kids. I realized during that week that I really am feeling so much better. I had energy the whole week with them, and it was such a fun week, full of the beach, picnics at the park, hiking, dirty diapers, swim practice, waffle-making disasters (Darren *cough cough*), water fights in the back yard, catching frogs and giant lizards, and an occasional bloody nose and bee sting. No broken bones!

(That really did happen...a few weeks ago we babysat for a couple in our community group, and while they were peacefully enjoying a romantic anniversary dinner, their 9 year old son climbed a tree and broke his arm...we didn't think anyone else in the church would ever ask us to babysit, but alas. The pastor did! I guess when you have 6 kids, you jump at a change to get away as a couple.)

That's our latest! We love and miss all of our family and friends back home. Please come visit us! We have a bedroom waiting :)
