Our first month as Arkansas Residents!

Wow, it's been a whole month since we moved! We are so thankful the transition has been so smooth. We were blessed to move right into a rental house five minutes from Fellowship, making it easy for Jimmy to set up his office, start getting to know the staff, and gear up for his new position. Jimmy lead for the first time March 4th and is really enjoying pouring his time and attention into one ministry. And likewise, I have really enjoyed getting to focus on my marketing for Lilleys' Landing. We are so thankful for the overwhelming blessings the Lord's provided along the way. 

We found a house!! It's five minutes from church, the gym, and walmart - what more could you ask for! Details and pictures will come once we close on the house on March 30th. We don't want to call it a done deal till all the papers are signed and the keys in hand : ) But needless to say, we're excited! 

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to lately:

Jimmy on the way to work with his Lilleys' mug in hand.

Jimmy and Darby enjoying the nice weather.

Enjoying visiting friends - Ethan & Sandra Lagerquist
(U of A baseball game)

Josh & Kelly Dougherty and their 5 month old - Jake : )
Josh is a community pastor at Fellowship and we were in
a small group with them in Branson. 

Babysitting Jake - such a sweet boy!

I got to help throw a baby shower for Steph Huddleston,
a college friend. Jackson's nursery theme is Dr. Seuss
so I had fun with the cup cakes...

    

We enjoyed a visit back to Lilleys' Landing to help with a
fishing tournament. Great to see the fam and help out.
Jimmy especially enjoyed his duty...

Grilling Steak!

And how could we leave out that face.. Darby : )
She is adjusting well to the slower pace, but she
is always ready with a toy to play. We did find
a great dog park near by so it helps her not
miss Jackson and Rodeo too much.

She loves all the windows in our rental house.
Here she is watching for Jimmy to come home.


I've been able to cook a ton more these days - I think Jimmy is enjoying it :)
I even got to make a Grandma Carolyn classic - Spaghetti & Meatballs and Cherry Pie!

Well goodness that was a long blog post! I'll try to post more often to prevent the back up of updates : )

All in all, we have had a great month here in this new stage in life. We are so thankful for all the love and support from friends and family. And we are amazed at how the Lord has provided - He is our strong foundation no matter where our location might be!

Much love,
Jim and Megs
