the journey home: from blountstown to atlanta

today we started the journey home. we left my parent's house in blountstown this morning and headed to atlanta. we've had a full afternoon and evening visiting with friends and attending the sunday evening service at norcross umc. it's been busy but great!

we had the chance to hang out with one of tammy's good friends from asbury that she hadn't seen in years. they live here in atlanta and it just happens to be a short distance from the church. (which, for those of you familiar with traffic in atlanta, is a very good thing.) and as i write we're waiting to meet with one of my old friends from asbury. he and his wife work at a church not far from where we're staying. it's been almost a year since we've last seen them and we're looking forward to it.

we had a blast at church tonight. it was the kids musical and it was really good. our kids loved it. ruthie kept trying to sing along and mimic the hand motions the kids were doing with the song. it was histerical. it was good to see the missions pastor and they even announced that we were there - including annoucing our move.

so tomorrow really early, we'll leave for home. ruthie can't wait. we just found out that tammy's sister michelle had her baby and roo is convinced that uncle matt and aunt michelle need her help taking care of him. :-)
