Business Cards and 1st Move


This weekend we moved from the Apartment to the in-laws... or should I say "outlaws" =). They ARE pretty wild and crazy.

I have never had much experience moving. As a kid, I lived in the same house for 24 years until marriage and then 3 years in the apartment until now. We have really accumulated a lot of things! I believe we have 6 boxes in just kitchen stuff. Needless to say we have moved everything and are now living in Sumner for two weeks until the BIG MOVE to Mexico.

It is sad to be at our apartment and have it not feel like home. We delivered our cat to his new home on Friday night, so that means he is not meowing in the window. All the pictures are off the wall and the familiar smell is no longer there when we open the door. Leslie shed a few tears seeing our vacant bedroom and thinking that other people will be living there soon.

In preparation to leave, I created the Business card to advertise this blog. We should be receiving the final prints here in a few days, and passing them out this week. Hopefully when people log in they will have something to read.

We continue to thank God for all his provision, people have such a desire to help/support us. It is very humbling.

The official move date is Feb 8.

First Blog

Hello,
Wednesday, the 23rd of January 2008, I have created our Blog page. I wanted to use joelandleslie.blogspot.com but believe it or not, someone else grabbed it! (I guess there are other Joel and Leslie's in the world.) It turns out the other "Joel and Leslie" are Christians, who are have been married 3 years too. Their "Mission" is planting a church in California. As you know, we are going to be a little further south of the border.

Hopefully this site will work great in keeping everyone up-to-date with what we are doing!

Keep us in your prayers!
