yep, I'm moving again...but this time, it's really "just up the road" where our seminary and office are...and where I spent the first few years of this journey. I've lived in the basement suite of the Shelton home since moving back to Calgary in October 2008. I didn't really expect to be here "this long" as I thought this might be a short term thing until I found something in Cochrane. But my little home grew on me and so has the Shelton crew. They have been the family to me during this season of my life and I am forever grateful. I'm sure we'll continue to have visits and meals together...And of course, I will continue to see Bob and Debbie at work!
Bob and Debbie decided to downsize a few months ago but the move came quicker than any of us expected. I'll be moving my things out this Saturday into the garage and basement of a seminary owned 2 bedroom off-campus condo. The condo is being renovated so I'll stay in seminary guest housing until I head south for Christmas and fully move into the condo in the new year. I'm glad it's working out for me to rent the condo. I know I will enjoy my new place, though it will be much bigger than what I've gotten used to having. Plenty of room for family and friends to visit! I will not miss the 20 minute commute into Cochrane, especially in the winter and that big hill we have to travel down. Most of you know I am not a morning person, so I know living in Cochrane will be better for me in getting to work a bit before 8AM :) I have loved the town of Cochrane since the first time I visited in summer 1996. Just the size town for me, yet close enough to the big city...and of course, the Rockies!
The timing is crazy with moving. We are super busy and a bit overwhelmed at work and a few days ago, I got a cold so that is no fun. I'm glad it's a 4 day work week!
I ask you to pray for me as I continue to pack and move on Saturday with the help of a few friends. Please also pray for my physical health and that I will be healed from this cold and God will continue to give me the strength I need. Pray for me in this transition time and all that comes with moving. Pray also for Bob and Debbie and daughter Abbie and her husband Cam (who have been living in the house since late spring) as they all move next week. We will all be in Cochrane in different places.
If you want my new mailing address, just email me or FB me and I can send that to you. I won't have a landline, so will continue to have the same cell number.
