this weekend was quite the adventure...
we did make it to san antonio..for awhile it seemed a little sketchy for some members of our party, and it was definitely a comfort walking into the church Saturday morning and finding everyone accounted for.
so its offical, peter and leslie are married..they could be considered the first from our crew, but definitely no one in the inner circle has tied the knot..anyone wanna place bets on whose gonna be first ;)????
I think the weekend could be summed up in one word..u-turns. somehow our ages must be getting to us because getting to and from san antonio to austin we made about a million, okay really only 10 u-turns over the entire weekend. and i'll add that san antonio & austin drivers and roads dont make driving any easier...nevertheless catching up with the crew and sharing the stories of our new lives was great. its fun to see how we're all slowly becoming grown-ups, some faster than others, some i dont think will ever grow up. The Pennycook/Ness wedding was definitely Central MT get together.
at one point during lunch is was a sweet moment for me to watch everyone together, seeing us all interacting and laughing again, hearing where they are all at in their lives and remembering where we've all come from and been through together, it was special. with everyone spreading out across the great state of Texas & beyond, i've come to really cherish those relationships that still have the feeling that nothings changed, if that makes sense. with the move to Brenham, friendship and fellowship mean a whole lot more to mean than i think it did in the past; not that i ever took them for granted, but they hold a deeper place in my heart than before.
anyways, i had a blast this weekend
friends please keep me updated
i love you guys
grace & peace,

so its been awhile since my last update and i apologize for all 3 (if that many) that read this on a regula basis. life as always is not slowing down one bit. So much has happened in the past weeks that i could not fully describe, but JAM has ended and as Children's Minister I am tying up loose ends and starting preparations for my job. the next couple of weeks will be doing research and development for the tutoring/afterschool program that Mission Brenham is going to start.
I'm all moved into my apartment, all the boxese arer unpacked, now i'm beginning to decorate, thats the fun part...i've never had so much wall space before-its so exciting. I have a 2 bedroom, downstairs (there was no way we were moving my piano up!). Its a safe little residence, noisy at times, but nice. I've met one neighbor, she's a single mom with 2 or 3 daughters, i'm really not sure, i talked with her briefly the other day.
Its weird not living in the BCS anymore, but i like that home is only 45 minutes away & now that i have a phone that works even better!
new info if you didnt get an email:
2345 Becker Dr.
Brenham, TX 77833
979-830-5782
thats all for now i guess, nothing too terribly exciting happening, just the busy life as we all know it.
thank you for all the prayers and encouragements, they are a blessing & keep them up, i'm really gonna need it!
grace & peace,
lish
