Happy fall everyone! This past week, Josh and I said goodbye to Alabama and hello to the frigid temperatures of northeast Ohio! I know that the Lord calls us to go and do things for His glory that will make us uncomfortable. So, here we are in Ohio, where it is cold…very cold. But in all of God's grace the weather has been about the only discomfort I've experienced. The warmth of the people has certainly made up for the chill. Our church family has welcomed us so sweetly and really speaks my love language.
Our last sunday at Riverchase was such a sweet, yet sad time. Josh and I were so blessed by the love we were shown. We had a luncheon/baby shower and got a chance to say our good-byes.

| Our wonderful friend Michele made a collage of Josh's time at the church! This was such a creative and meaningful 'going-away' gift. |
 |
| Tears, Tears, Tears…When it comes to saying any kind of goodbyes I'm a big ole baby. |
After what seemed like an eternity of packing and wrestling with the Uhaul we set off to Josh's parent's house and then to our new town!
 |
| Jewel got to spend time with one of her puppies! The wonderful and sweet Golden doodle, Max! Check out Deeter's Doodles if you're interested in having a doodle of your own. |

| This is the stash of home supplies that our thoughtful CWC had prepared for us on Sunday morning. Of course, I cried. |
After a Sunday morning full of reconnecting with everyone from the church, Josh teaching, and spending time with Josh's parents we found a quiet place for the perfect fall hike. Despite the cold, Ohio is beautiful! The trees have changed in a way that I'm not used to. The colors are unbelievable and no picture does it justice.
 |
| Jewel, the queen, is pretty playful and frisky in this brisk fall air! |
I hope everyone is enjoying the fall air, eating lots of soup and drinking plenty of Salted Caramel Mochas ( If you're into that sort of thing). I'm sending lots of virtual hugs and kisses to my Alabama loves!
lovelovelove, Emily
