Our Trip to NOVA

Phil found some amazing airfare and hotel deals, so we spontaneously decided to take a family trip to our future homeland in Northern Virginia (affectionately called NOVA). We wanted to check out some houses and see our friends, Chris and Anna Tomlinson, who just moved there from California. We are SO blessed to have them there! It feels so good to already have wonderful friends in a new place.

It was so fun to watch Adam get to know CT and AT - he loves them! They watched Adam while we house hunted, which was a huge gift. We totally couldn't have done it without them and Adam had a great time.
CT and Adam having a heart to heart.
Adam got to meet the T's dog Bear. Pretty exciting stuff.
CT's book Crave: Wanting So Much More of God was just released on January 1. I was so excited to get my signed copy! How crazy is it that the guy pictured on the back of the book is the SAME GUY I'm standing next to??? You can visit CT's blog HERE. He is great with the words.
CT's parents, brother, and sister-in-law also live in NOVA and welcomed us into their home for dinner on Saturday night. We had great fun getting to know all of them.
CT was entertaining Adam, but I think he was pretty proud of his creation.
We made pizzas - YUM!
What could provoke such joy?
Papa T, of course! Adam got just a *little* bit of love and attention from the Tomlinsons - so fun!
We had a great trip. We saw a bunch of houses, and have a few possibilities. We'll keep you posted as our housing situation unfolds. Please pray for wisdom and guidance as we make these important decisions!
