We just celebrated our third marriage "monthiversary." The school year has started for Janae, and Adrian is loving his new role(s) at New Beginnings Community Church. Things are kind of crazy right now, but we are juggling all of our regular "stuff" with

• starting to adjust to each other's routines and sharing space with one another
• settling two people's stuff into Janae's full house...
• riding the Ice Bucket Challenge wave and cheering on Janae's dad, Herald, who was diagnosed with ALS just over a year ago...
• ripping up about every corner of the house for repairs...and finding more needed repairs... (Adrian is in the crawl space as I type this)
• all the requirements and arrangements for a big move to Portland, Oregon, next July.

That's the big one. The Refuge. TheRefuge.tv, to be exact. We are moving to Portland to plant a church, a vision God gave Adrian years ago, that is now becoming reality. Applications, designing brochures for potential supporters, finding potential supporters, dreaming of our future church, interviews, prep to sell the house.... it's a lot! Thank you for your prayers for our marriage, Janae's family, provision for our current needs, and funding for our church plant.
