Getting to know Louisville

We have been lost enough times now that we mostly know our way around. The GPS- Garmin- has been polite to us- instead of saying "You are totally lost and have no idea- yet AGAIN!" It simply says "Recalculating, Recalculating, Recalculating...." - most times we have found our way to where we need to go. Today Keith needed to get his motorcycle off the back of the truck- the GPS led us to the wrong spot- but at our lost spot- there were loading bays and a large ramp off the bays- so we asked if we could unload- no problem! The guys there were pretty impressed with how far we are away from home!

Keith has now registered for most of his classes and I am hoping to get into the Seminary wives program once I get all registered. Our kids have LOVED every moment with the Gordon kids- what a fun bunch. Keith and I have looked at enough homes to know that this task may take awhile... I am not really keen on the extended stay hotel for months on end- so we'll see! God certainly has a way of allowing us to grow and trust Him more.

The kids are waiting to hear if they have been accepted into the Dorothy Sayer Classical school. All 3 would wear uniforms and the only keen one is Megan! A skirt for Ellie and a white shirt for Luke are not first choice! The school curriculum looks like all 3 will learn a whole bunch and I will have my schedule busy with keeping up!

Keith has been buying school text books and filling out his new day-timer! Today he was SO happy when he realized that he had 18 BOOKS to buy- oh the joys of books! And of course they were all on sale too! I can't totally relate to the love of filling book shelves, but he loves his books! Now that we are on the Seminary budget I can't even go out and compete with some clothes shopping! Such is life!

We appreciate any and all prayers! This is truly a challenging, but exciting adventure- we sure miss family and friends.

Teresa and the school crew!

Hi Keith Teresa and kids!
Wonderful to see how you all are doing. The uniforms are not a bad idea.....actually makes life much easier, especially for Ellie going into teenage years!
Hope the house searching goes well. We will surely keep you in our prayers.
Love

I'm looking up Louisville on the map - I'm guessing Ellie, Megan and cool dude Luke are happy you have arrived with no more long distance travel for a bit. All the best with starting school - Luke's sentiments to Luke about the white shirt - I've kept the shirt and tie in the memory box!! Did Keith do OK on his Greek challange? Teresa - I'm looking forward to hearing a southern draaawll from you.
Love Eva,
Ever in our prayers and thoughts
