My Daddy

Michael and I love being and aunt and uncle. Our neices and nephews are great and they have never been confused about the relationship between us. This is not the case with the small children at our new church. One mom suggested that it might be because we don't have any children of our own, yet. I met Michael the other day at a shop one of the church members owns. Her grandson saw me give Michael a "hello" kiss and told his grandmother that he thought Pastor Michael had a girlfriend :) If you think that's good, you'll really love the next story. The little girls in two different families are convinced that Michael is my Daddy!!! One of them started by asking what my Daddy's name was. It was a question which I thought was a little weird but answered anyway. Then the mom told me what she thought her daughter was thinking. I've gotten some fun laughs out of this. The other little girl told me I could sleep in the downstairs bedroom and my Daddy could sleep on the couch :) I just love it.


I see that many other people have been publishing "it's been a while" posts, so I'm throwing in my hat with everyone else. Everything from our appartment has been packed in boxes since last Friday. It has all been unloaded into some storage facility or another since last Monday and we are currently between houses. I can't wait for Thursday - we close on our house on December 20th, Merry Christmas! We have enjoyed staying with various church members over the past week and are thankful for their generosity and the chance to get to know these families.


God really is blessing us here in Columbus. Our church is very warm and friendly and has a very sweet spirit. Here are some blogs you can look forward to once we get settled in our house and have an internet connection: "The back-up singer" and "High-tech shepherds."

Merry Christmas everyone and I hope to be in touch before the new year.
