After 2 weeks in the office, Team Somethin Somethin is ready to get out on the road again! The PA semi was packed this morning in less than 3 hours. This earned us the afternoon off, which means.... nap time! This has become our favorite activity.

It's been so much fun getting to reunite with the other teams over the past 2 weeks. We have missed everyone so much! Some of the highlights include dinner and playing Rockband at the Luzadder household, homemade pizza and watching Chuck at Krystle's, and a cookout at the Howerton's. All of the MOVE staff is so welcoming to us and it has really made being away from home a little bit easier.

Tomorrow at 7am, we set out for Scranton, PA. This will be a 2 day drive, complete with stops in Indianapolis and Cincinnati. We will be stopping at the Snapp residence to meet Emily's wonderful family and to eat a lovely meal prepared by Mrs. Snapp. We are all very excited about this! After eating fast food for nearly 2 months, a home-cooked meal will be wonderful :)

Then we will continue on our way to Cincinnati to pick up our fearless leader--Chad. He and his wife Rachel just packed up and moved.... um yesterday. Brandon has challenged Kenzi to stay awake the entire time in the van, to counteract the 12 hours that she slept on the way home from TN. We'll see what happens :/

We are so excited to begin another week of MOVE. After 3 amazing weeks in Tennessee, there is so much to look forward to. God is working in ways that we couldn't have imagined. Please pray that hearts continue to be softened and lives continue to be changed. Thank you for all of your support and prayers!

Well, it certainly has been a while. It is safe to say that Team Somethin Somethin was a little worn out after three straight weeks on the road, including two set ups and tear downs. To pick up where we left off, we packed up everything at Milligan for our first tear down... which went very smoothly with much thanks to our amazing BC reps. Finished up late (about 1:00am) on Friday night, and drove the couple hours over to Johnson Bible College on Saturday. Got some set up done, and relaxed! Finished set up on Sunday. It was kind of a long weekend after two weeks at Milligan, but we were ready for another week of MOVE :)

Other memories and notable events that we have missed:

* POWER! We decided that to make the most out of a power nap, when a person wakes up from one, he or she must immediately sit up in bed and yell, "POWER!!!!"

* Extended Rec...The Blue Hole. There is a sweet waterfall and rock thing that people can jump off in Johnson City, Tennessee. However, it is not recommended, because Emily cut her foot open. Note: Not Brandon's fault. :)

* Emily has attitude. Her alter-ego is named Ke$ha. Krystle gave her this nickname, and she loves it very much. :)

* Mackenzi's bed talks. This started when Kenzi said that her bed is calling her name, and Chad wondered out loud what that would sound like. Very-funny-had-to-be-there-moment.

*Krystle says, "Wait, whattt?" Which Chad turned into, "Whaaagghhhttt??" We all find this extremely hilarious, and the full amount of hilarity cannot be expressed through a blog. You had to be there.

* Goodbyes at Johnson. :( This was very sad for everyone involved, because we got so close in the few weeks that we worked with each of the BC reps. Going from spending 24/7 together to saying goodbye for a very long time is hard. We miss you all!!! :(

* Kenzi's comments. Ohh goodness, Kenzi. :) Let's just say that Kenzi is special sometimes, and we enjoy having her around to share... well, "things she's done". ;) Phoenix especially appreciates these moments.

* Kenzi's 12 hour nap. Okay, we were all exhausted, but this girl can sleep like no one's business.

We are sure this is not a complete list. Almost two weeks in the office now, and we are definitely appreciating the break. We will keep you posted if we remember any other great moments :)
