See ya later Omaha!

Well, Jake and I made the trek from Omaha, Nebraska to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We are really going to miss Omaha and the wonderful friends we made there! I lived in Omaha for exactly a year (to the day!) and Jake lived there a little longer...we weren't expecting to like it so much, but I think our great friends had something to do with that! I also had a great job that I loved at Kiewit, we had the best neighbors EVER, got connected at a great church, and so much more. The Lord provided so much for us in Omaha and it was a great place to start our marriage, but we are excited for this new adventure.

The whole Journey Group (our Bible Study) led by Wes and Connie. We love this group!




We tried to cram in as much time with our friends before we had to leave!


Out to dinner with Noah and Melinda


Dinner with Jared and Susannah


The Barrick's got a cute puppy named Thor...Jake loved him!


Jake sold his project Bronco. It was kinda sad...we would have loved to have been able to keep it, but it isn't the easiest thing to move and we are downsizing in PA. Not sure if we will have the garage space for it either. What will Jake's next project car be?



The drive took a total of 20 hours. Jake was already working in PA, so I packed up the car and drove 10 hours to Indiana...Jake flew into Indy and we enjoyed Memorial Day weekend with family. I was mostly worried about the cat, Alice, and how she would do in the car. The first 2 hours of the trip she made the most pathetic noises ever, wouldn't stop meow-ing, and was just stressed. She finally settled down and slept like a rock most of the trip. When Jake and I drove from Indy to PA, I took a ton of pictures of the cat in the car...I got bored!






So, for the month of June we are settling in this cute little house in Bethlehem, PA.


We didn't have AC for the first few days, we have no TV, no internet (that's why it has taken me so long to get this post up), and we are just living simply. It's a nice change of pace from what we are used to. We still don't know where we are going to settle...or where I will be working. More updates on this new adventure to come soon!
