Tey-has!

We've made it.

The plane ride went well. I'm so thankful my parents came to help. Flying with one kid is super easy compared to two. I learned I can't fly with two on my own. Struggle. Is. Real. 

Praise the Lord for the Body of Christ.  We had trouble getting in our apartment because I needed to pay by check. Which was on the truck. But somebody came to our rescue. 

The truck pulled up and magically a small army showed up. They probably in loaded in a half an hour. Talk about overwhelming. We thought it was going to rain and it did, but it stopped before Brain got here. 

We've been so blessed. People put together our room and the boys room. We had teens organize all their toys and books. Somebody unpacked all of our clothes. People brought baskets of food, bought groceries, toilet paper, paper towel. People were washing our dishes aim any sink they could. We had teenagers running around with HT. and admist the crazy was this one. 

Passed out! 

Thank you all who have helped and prayed. From here to Maryland. And a special thanks to my parents who helped me travel, and to Davey who came down with Brian. Driving 20 outs in a Penske is no joke. 

Pictures of our place coming soon! 

The end is not near its here

Fourth of July was a bust- we were suppose to to the DC thing but it rained. So we just came back to fairfax. And by rained I mean poured for a half hour at least 

Then Monday the movers came. 

Then that night we said goodbye to our fam. Which was probably the hardest thing yet. 

It's all becoming very real. I'm in fairfax with the boys and my parents. Brian is somewhere in Tennessee. Pray for them. Pray they arrive safely in Texas 

Pray all goes well with the official lease signing .

Praise God that all of our stuff fit in that truck and our car. 

Pray I have enough diapers to last tonight and tomorrow. Potty training will commence in Texas.

Pray our flight and car rental process go well. 

Pray nobody steals our stuff from the truck. 

Tonight the boys and I say goodbye to Brian's parents- pray for that as well. 

Prayer update

We are set for our lease. They have been having trouble with their system so they will prorate our rent. 

Tomorrow I'll call and see what I need to do about power. 

Tomorrow is moving day. We're not ready for movers. 

Pray all goes well. 

SUPPER stressed out 

The first of the goodbyes

Sunday we said our goodbyes at church. It was very hard, but the hardest was this 

We lived two years with Mark and Rachel. One of which was JTs first year. We will miss them tremendously. (For you that don't know Rachel is Brian's older sister and mark is her husband.)

Thanks to all who came out to say goodbye. We really appreciated everyone who showed up especially those who came from all around the DMV.  

Monday I hung out with my zeta girls 💗. We walked around the Annapolis mall. It was so good to see them and grab lunch. 

I even did a bit of retail therapy. 

Shoes.on.fleek.

Pray save travels for my rents. They fly in Friday night. 

Pray for JTs asthma, we've been pretty on the go and he's been outside a lot. Not a good combination. 

Pray I have grace with the leasing company, I'm giving them a call later today. 

Last ride

Tomorrow is my last day of work. Brian has another week, but I'm done. 

I'm excited. I'm sad. I've eaten a lot of cookies this week. 

Processing this is difficult. I don't want to say goodbye. The thought of it is gut wrenching. But I can't wait to get there. To start living our new lives,  and fellowship at Woodcreek/with Woodcreek. 

Pray for us and our goodbyes. This is hard on both Brian and I. We love our Friends and family, and we love the kids. 

Pray for the MD teens as they process it. Some are taking this very hard. Brian has had such an influence in their lives. 

Pray for the TX teens as they prepare for us. The transition is always hard. 

A day in Colligan land.

Liam found his toes 

Jt ate more than one bite of quinoa and didn't scream. 

"Quinoa!!!"

And I hate thunderstorms. Texas doesn't have those do they? ..... Heh. 

Pray this lady sends me the lease agreement tomorrow so I don't go ham. 

Pray everybody survives VBS week. 

Pray somebody responds to the gospel this week. 

Happy Fathers Day

Words can't express how blessed I am to  have such great men in my life. 

My dad taught me the importance of family, to work hard, and to never take your self to seriously. He also taught me how to use a drill, and drive with my knees so I can eat a cheeseburger. Love and miss you lots daddy! 💗🍔🍟

I am so blessed to have my husband who loves our boys unconditionally. yesterday I took him out to celebrate him. We went to auto bahn and Fogo De Chao. 

I am also thankful that my husband had a wonderful man to look up too. I see so much of Jack in Brian. I see his tenderness and servants heart. 

God has dealt bountiful with me. God bless these men. 💗
