Did you ever know that your my hero?

I'm updating. It's not like I have a cute kid or anything, but some people have asked that I update...so here it is.

First let me just say that IF there was a place on this particular blog to name your heros, my friend Sara Beth would be one, however for some reason I DON'T THINK THE FEELING WOULD BE MUTAL. HINT HINT!

Ok...enough of that. Things are going good up here in the ATL. I'm not actually in Atlanta by the way...about 30 minutes north...but it's all the same. Our church is off to a very good start, and we are still having fun doing it, and that's really important.

I miss home. Some days more than others. I just really want to see my mama. Hopefully next weekend i'll be able to. For some reason, and this may sound morbid, but i've just been thinking about the fact that daddy will probably pass away sometime in the the five years or so. Actually I think it's probably going to be more like this year. I don't know why I'm thinking about it, except maybe for the fact that I am getting myself mentally prepared for having to deal with the BM. (Birth mother) that is. I keep playing it in my mind how I am going to just tell her off once and for all. My hero may have to help me out on that one. I'm sure the Mee-Maws would have my back.

I'm just in a weird place right now. I've started growing away from the people back at home, but I'm not yet close enough to the people here to call it home. I don't mean that anything is wrong...it's just been 4 weeks in. It'll get there...I'm sure.
Some people from home just act like they don't want to hear about what's going on here...and sorry but if you want an update in my life...this is probably going to be a part of it.

That's one reason I am so thankful for all of my Judson friends. Even though I may move, or people get married, or babies come into the world, we are all still close. We don't have to talk everyday, or even every week, (sometimes month...MARIE), but somehow we just pick up right where we left off, and that feels good.

There is a friend here in Georgia who went to an all girl's school. We were talking last night about being only children at home, and then going to live with a bunch of girls. I asked her if she would do it all over again...and she said yes.

So that's it. Probably not the update you were wanting, or even expecting...but nevertheless...Sara Beth can finally hush!

Heather...it's your turn!

Until next time...Peace out!

The Church At Mill Creek Has Started!

And there is NO other place that I would rather be right now!

So here are some pictures from The Church At Mill Creek's First official service. It was a great first service. I can't believe that we are finally starting...it feels so good to know that we get to do this every week!

Life is going pretty good over here in the Georgia. We have been so busy that there's been very little time for "homesickness". That's not to say that I'm not...because I do miss home! But things are starting to feel a little more "settled" for me here.

It was my turn to be it!!!

This is Gracie standing up telling me that when I came into the room to start the lesson it ruined her fun because she was about to be IT in Duck Duck Goose. She's still cute even if she did throw a HUGE fit!

Rewind

The people at Mill Creek are so blessed to call Scott Kindig our pastor. He is truly an amazing man with an amazing family. You can actually go to www.churchatmillcreek.com and here this message from our REWIND series!

Worship

This is Chris Orr and his band and Erin leading worship. Erin's husband Dustin is our Community Impact person. We all have "Fun" titles around here. From what I heard (which was from people that were here and a little bit right before I ran into the preschool room), Chris and Erin sounded wonderful together.

Linzi and Caroline watching the cute babies in the nursery!

Kellie and her Christmas tree!

This time it wasn't hanging from Jesus!

Ok..so here's one of my stupid shots...i'm surprised Jennifer didn't take this picture

These were the beatiful ornaments that I got from Guam, Prago or Prague...where ever that is that Susan lives!

Hannah and Lily and their mommies

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia....

Of course that was the song that was playing this morning as I pulled out of New Hope on my way to Georgia. I'm here, I'm moved...well kinda. I'm here for good and that's all that matters. No more going home and coming for the weekend. It's for real this time.

My last weekend before the move was spent at the Mee-Maw Christmas party. Those babies were even cuter that I could have imagined. Just seeing their expressions was awesome. We played pennies, ate way to much and slept very little...but it was good times.

Almost as good as the party itself was the ride to Auburn with Sara Beth. It was highlighted by running into both Susan and Marie, singing OLD SCHOOL Bon Jovi, and OLD SCHOOL Country.

So i'm here, and my new life as I know it pretty much gets into full gear tomorrow. Should be interesting!

Hope all my friends are recovered from the weekend and doing good! Love you all!
