we are officially living in bellingham! yesterday and the move went as well as possible. we had the truck loaded and apartment clean in 3 hours. the border crossing was seamless - only a 40 min wait and they didn't pull us over to check the truck. and we had everything in our new place by 5:30.
we felt very well cared for by those who helped yesterday! friends from vancouver, my wonderful family, friends from the church - all made the work manageable. thank you!!
we are slowly getting settled in, which is an emotional and practical process. tim and i both had trouble sleeping last night in our new home. sam seems to be a bit on edge. but things are getting sorted and set-up. the weather encouraged us to explore the amazing trail and park system just a stones throw from our front door. we are incredibly thankful for the neighborhood we live in. we are also looking forward to just a 5 min walk to church in the morning. and our bellies are full from the amazing dinner we just ate at my parents' house.
thank you for your prayers and thoughts. the room i am the most excited about is sam's bedroom. her bedroom in vancouver never felt fully hers (because of everything we needed to also have in her space besides her things) - so it is very fun for me to be creating a space to be all her own. if nothing else i will post pictures of her room when it is finished.
good night from america :)

so excited to come and visit. See you soon, we fly back this Wed. love Roz
Congratulations on your move! And your pregnancy - I have clearly not checked in on your blog as frequently as I'd like to, and didn't realize you were expecting! You look fantastic. Praying you're feeling well. Please send us your new address so that we can be better about staying in touch. (Also... does Sam plan to attend Taylor, and if so, does she need a roommate? I think she and Ellie would be quite the pair.)
;) XOXO,
Ashley
