Here we are in Birmingham, Alabama, visiting my parents for the first time in their new house. They have a really nice place and seem to be enjoying their new home and city. Yesterday we drove around Birmingham and saw this neat city up close. It is a beautiful, hilly city with lots of trees and culture and restuarants and shops. It sure is a time of change for our whole family! But, its very exciting and we're looking forward to the ways that God will teach us all in the months and years to come.

This morning we'll head to Leatherwood forge, my aunt Cindi's retreat center in the Tennessee hills south of Nashville. All of the Parmenters (mom's side) meet there each year for a "reunion" of sorts that has become really special to us all. If you'd like to see the center and learn more about it, which you should since it is amazing and beautiful, go to www.leatherwoodforge.com and browse the website.

Hope you all are well. Thanks again to all of you who have been reading! We appreciate it.

The retreat center looks beautiful . . . and very peaceful! Enjoy time with your family and a little rest for yourselves : ) Glad to hear that your parent's are getting settled into their new place. Take care! Kristin

Would you pass on to your parents my regrets in not getting to say goodbye. I didn't realize that they would be moving while we were in Kenya.
