Weekend Update!

It's been a good yet busy weekend.  On Friday night I hosted a little get-together at my place for some new friends.  It was the first time I've had friends over in Tyler. (Not including family and my Dallas peeps.)

After dinner we broke out the youth addition of Trivial Pursuit which  is a little more challenging than you might think. 

I feel really blessed to have made this little group of friends so fast.  I know I've mentioned this before, but as a single girl who has lived away from family for over 10 years, having a strong support system is really important.  In fact, losing that support was my biggest fear when leaving Dallas.  Just like with every other detail of this move - God has worked it out.  During the months of prayer leading up to the decision to leave Dallas, I prayed about all the details.  I prayed about finances, living arrangements, a new church home. I even prayed about Zoe being able to adjust well.  He kept saying, "I've got this, just go."  It hasn't all been sunshine and roses, but I'm working more each day to let go - and let Him work out the details of my life.

Saturday morning I attended the Fall Carnival at my school for a couple of hours before heading to Gilmer to meet up with Steffi and Beau.  In case you didn't know - Gilmer is the home of the East Texas Yamboree.  It was kind of hot and crowded so we ended up and the Dairy Queen - ha. 

Steffi and Beau met up with Tad at a Pumpkin Patch in Canton on the way home.  I hear that got some really good pics.  I'll have to post some soon.
