Hello everyone! We're here in Lexington! We survived moving and setting up electric, water, internet etc. The place is looking a little cluttered still, but much better than 2 days ago. Soon it will feel like home. God was gracious to us the past week. Moving, though tiring, went well. No accidents or pulled muscles.

Even though we've been hard at work these past days, we've been able to enjoy Lexington and the area. The weather's been perfect, and today we spent the afternoon out on Goshen Pass, about 15 miles away. We had fun playing in the clean, fresh water with Gruff. Next post: Showing you around our town.

We decided on an upstairs apartment in Massie Street, only a few blocks from downtown. It was in our price range and has a great yard for Gruff. The whole upstairs is ours, including that great, big screened in porch. The whole place has a lot of character. Here's
