We're getting a roommate!

No, it's not inside pet, he's a real person. And it's all our parents fault! How could that be? We were both raised by parents who believed it was their job to minister to others with what God had given them - even their house. As elementary school girls, my sisters and I were blessed by the single women who lived in our extra bedroom. What a great influence and source of fun they were. As high school- and college-aged kids, Michael and his sister Kellie were able to experience sharing their home with both men and women who needed a place to live. We now have the opportunity to share in that legacy. A young couple in our church are engaged and planning to live in this area, but Tyler now lives about 2 hours away. He's been looking for housing and a job but hasn't found either yet. Well, now he has found one, I guess. He'll be moving in this weekend until they get married this summer. This will let him go ahead and move here and also save up money for when they get married. We are excited to have him here and we are excited for their upcoming marriage.
