Missio Colonia | Kevin and Kathi in Cologne, Germany

We made the move yesterday. We are no longer residents of Illinois, but once again we are Ohioans! Needless to say this makes Kathi very excited. We stuffed our Honda Accord to the ceiling with our remaining belongings and set off early yesterday morning. After surviving the Indiana/Ohio Tollway and a dubious visit to a rest stop Panera Bread, we got to Kathi's parent's house late in the evening. I don't think it has quite hit us yet, but this really marks a huge turning point in our lives. Chicago was the place where both of us set out on our independent lives and became "adults." We are dearly going to miss all of the relationships and memories we had forged there.

In some ways though, our lives are going to settle down a little bit. We will be busy with support raising here and finding part-time jobs, but we no longer have to worry about being nomads. We definitely need some down time, and we hope that the next week or so we can get caught up on some much need rest, rejuvenation, and reconnecting with Jesus.
