Two months later... And the countdown's begun

Helllllooooooo again! It's hard to believe that two months have gone by since either Pastor Brian or I have managed to write anything for this SOV Pastors' Blog - it's not for lack of interesting things to write about - that I can guarantee.
So - I'm moving. My husband and I have accepted a call to serve together as co-pastors of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Bozeman, Montana. It's a move back to the Montana Synod for me, and a return to northern climes for both of us (I am so NOT a desert flower!). While we are excited about working together and living in a smaller town, the move is not without its sadness and anxieties. It's rarely easy to leave a congregation - lots of goodbyes, ministries left ongoing, plans left untried or unfulfilled. And so to the people who are Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, I say "thank you" and "keep up the good ministry."
On the personal, household side, moving is turning out to be quite the adventure. We're had a garage sale last Saturday as another attempt to reduce the amount of stuff that will be arriving in Bozeman with our names on it. The moving truck arrives tomorrow morning, and then the only "stuff" left in the house will be what's going in the cars with us. Five pets included. (Anybody interested in borrowing 2 cats for 6-7 months or so? Send me an email ASAP!!)

This may be the last post on this blog. We'll see. So, before I shut it down (and hopefully start a new one in a month or so): Thanks for reading!
