California at Last!



After praying for a year and a half about when and where the Lord would have us go to school it is crazy to be here in the flesh!
Josh drove the big yellow Penske with the Subi on trailer in back through the night to be welcomed by Monday morning traffic at 5:30am. We rolled into campus around 7:30am to catch a few minutes of shut eye and then officially become CA residents.
It took about an hour and a half to cram every box and belonging into our one bedroom

apartment and have enough room to squeeze out the front door. Josh and I headed towards Lombard street (we avoided the crookedest road area, thankfully) to drop off the Penske.
After two days of unpacking boxes, we started to feel like we had a home. Although very small we feel privileged to have the only carpeted apt on our block.
We still feel like we are on vacation or something as our surroundings are so new. But we are so thankful to be here and are loving being in on this stage of God's plan for our lives!

  1. Hi Josh and Stace!!

    Wow--the boxes are almost up to the ceiling! How fun that you ended up getting carpet too! I can't believe how big the kiddos are getting friend--i'm so glad that you were able to be there together for the special events. How was the concert in the gardens??? It's so fun to get a glimpse into the new adventure and I can't wait to see you guys and your new home in person!

  2. Josh and Stacy,
    congratulations on California and GGBS! I have some close friends and some family who live in Fairfield, CA. My friend often comes down to the seminary to get in some personal study. If you think you may have time, I would love to connect you guys. His name is Sandy Nafziger, he and his family have a really great ministry with Cadence, Int. at Travis AFB. He was the guy who discipled me when I was in Germany. We even find ourselves visiting them sometimes. If we get there in the next four years, you guys will certainly be on our list of people to visit.

    This is an exciting time in your life and I am very glad to hear that Josh will have the opportunity to study with Sailhamer. I know that is is a dream come true and I am thrilled to see that it is really happening. Go Cubs! Go Bears!
