Life in Phoenix

So far, so GREAT! We really are enjoying it here. Our apartment is nice. We are feeling right at home at our new church. We attended the Good Friday service and then again on Easter. I think it's rather profound that Easter was our first Sunday service. Easter represents so much...a new life, new beginning, a fresh start... How awesome is it for God to bring us to our new church on that day. He really does have a way of speaking to us and encouraging us. During the Good Friday service a gal who we had met in January came up and gave me a hug and said to me "Welcome Home". It was so sweet. So many have made us feel so welcomed. We were also blessed with a couple dropping by with dinner on our first night in our apartment. It's been so refreshing!

We've walked over to the mall twice for dinner. It's nice with the mall being so close to us.

We have an orange grove right down the street from us. The grove puts off this amazing fragrance. I mean it is AMAZING! When we drive by the grove we will roll down our windows just to take it all in. I've never smelt anything so wonderful. When I smell it I think that Heaven must smell similar.

We are pretty much settled in to our apartment. We need to buy a couch and some end tables and will do that soon. Other than that we are pretty much set until we move into our home. On our first night in the apartment our air mattress went caput! So the following day we headed to the bed store to buy a new bed. We got a fabulous firm bed and we both love it. It is so much nicer than our old bed and of course the air mattress. We are so blessed!
