Greetings from Pella, our new home!
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activities with packing,Dan's graduation, and unpacking again. We've really enjoyed settling in this week, getting accustomed to Pella and making our house feel like home. Dan has been great with hanging (and sometimes re-hanging) things on the wall while I stand back and say, "Up about one inch...a little more...a little more...perfect!" Our parents and grandparents were a huge help with moving out and Grandpa and Grandma VW have been so helpful here in Pella with getting everything moved in, especially the bed. We have felt warmly welcomed in the community and even more so at church where we are already getting to know many people of all ages. We're looking forward to meeting with Reverend Barnes later this week for coffee. Last week we took advantage of Pella's great bike trail which goes to Lake Red Rock, and we found out that it is 26 miles from our house to the end of the trail and back!
We're feeling tremendously blessed by God in many ways this first week at our new home. He has provided for our needs so perfectly, as always.
May each of you enjoy resting and worshiping this Sunday.
With love,
Leah

Are throw pillows as ridiculous as placemats, Dan?
