We have continued our trend of our ever changing lives and have moved to home #9 since we've been married. We have been here a few weeks and are starting to feel "settled". We are loving our new duplex. Quite the step up from our previous apartment and paying less than if we would have stayed!
The boys enjoying snack time in our new backyard
In our first weeks here a lot has happened. We have already plugged into a new church that has quickly taken us in. Already they have been helping us out a lot and showing us the ropes here in Mount Vernon.
The pastor introduced us to an amazing group called
Skagit Gleaners. This group collects produce from grocery stores in the area that would otherwise be thrown away, sorts through to pick out the stuff that is still good, and gives it away to their members. To join you pay a nominal monthly fee and agree to give 4 volunteer hours a month. We can collect produce up to 3 days a week and so far the limits have been 25-35lbs! Thanks to this group it looks like we are going to be well fed and saving a lot on our grocery bills.
Mikala and the boys
We have had a huge answer to prayer during this whole move.
Mission Nannies came through again and provided us with Mikala who will be helping us with the kids the next few months. This comes just in time since Jenna will be starting at the birth clinic before long.
