We've Arrived

So we are in Clovis. We've taken about 11 hours to unpack so far. It is looking pretty good. We went looking for Winco yesterday and also found Costco in the same outting.

The Bahers came to town and joined us at the Fresno zoo. I like the giraffes. They had an exhibit of stingrays. We bought shrimp and fed them. You had to put your arms in the water with your elbows beneath the surface, hold the shrimp between your fingers, and let them suck it into their mouths. It was pretty gnarly. Pictures to follow soon.

We needed some time out so we called the Hayes. We crashed thier gaming party. The church interns are intown helping at Copper Springs' VBS. Candice has been suffering ever since VBS let out watching the three interns and Joe play shoot em up games. It is very funny to watch. I have never played Halo before so appearently I am not a real man. I stink at it because I can kill no one but I can run pretty well.

Luke just ran in and practically kicked down the door. He had no hands to knock because he was holding Tyson. Luke enters screaming, "I need a tub!" Cute little Tyson sprayed poop out his diaper and down his leg. We've got 10 people and 1 baby`in this small apartment. It is going to be an interesting afternoon.

Signing off, Kyle

Wednesday

I've decided my major and emphasis. Biblical and Religious Studies with an emphasis in Biblical Studies. I get giggles from my friends when I say that I am going to get a "BS in Bible". Say it out loud fast and then you might get it.

I met with Audry and Greg at the campus 4/19. I was able to ask them a bunch of questions about the major and the school in general. I was so excited I think I must have said "cool" at least 5 dozen times when I was talking with Audry. :P Greg is the main man with the "Signature of Authority", or so I am told. It looks like the major is pretty flexible so I am going to see about substituting classes or just taking more electives with missional emphasises.

I am unbelievably stoked about the classes. Concerning moving my excitment depends on which day you ask me. Ha. Keep us in your prayers with the move and jobs and leaving friends and family here in B-town. It is going to be a major adjustment but we know its the move God wants us to take. Plus the apartment will have a patio so I can get me a bbq. :)

June comes quickly

Thursday the 21st of June will be my last day working for ProU in Bakersfield. That leaves Friday to pack up and drive the uhaul up north and the weekend to unpack.

Work is going well. I thought it would be more relaxed from being off site but it is busy as ever. I am trying to get into a rhythm but it doesn't help having to go to class in the afternoon.

We are close to locking down our apartment in Fresno/Clovis. We are excited because the new apartments don't have sticky walls, they have more light in the living room, it has an enclosed patio, and a remodeled kitchen. FPU is going to make us poor but at least our apartment will be nice.
