In October we were blessed to find a rental house that had exactly everything we needed and even wanted! The Lord provides in ways we can't even imagine. We moved in the weekend before Halloween and feel very much at home here. I worked hard to get everything unpacked and set up because I do NOT like to live in chaos. So to say the least, we are completely settled in. Feel free to stop by anytime, we love to have visitors!! We also had a blast on Halloween by scaring the PBC senior class with Chris and Mendy Johnson! It was priceless. Roelof carved his first pumpkin and we dressed Lucy up as a bumble bee :)

Another reason why I needed to unpack everything at a supersonic rate was because we had our first guests just a week after we moved in. We were blessed to see our good friends from South Africa, Sean and Gena Mullen. The Mullens are a part of the mission we worked for in SA. They were here visiting family and raising support and awareness for the mission. Please pray for our friends as they are still in the states traveling across the country. They will be going back home in January. We had such a great time with them, eating lots of mexican food of course, adventures at Wally World, a trip to the mall, and just sitting around and visiting. Roelof was extremely happy to see Sean, I thought he might cry! Haha, just kidding. But just talking with them has really made us realize how much we miss being in full time ministry. God was definitely pulling on our heart strings.

My photo business has been picking up. I've had several portrait sessions and have enjoyed each one of them. I love being taking pictures and creating something that has so much beauty in it. I get so excited at the end of a shoot when I'm on my way home. I can hardly stand it, I want so badly to upload those photos and see how they turned out! It's very exciting and something I take much joy and pride in. Please continue to pray for my business as it is still not enough income for me to take on as a career.
Here is an album from one of my latest sessions: http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=25599&id=118234508226495

Well tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we have so much to be thankful for! As you can see we have been greatly blessed and we thank God for His provision over us!
