Chi Alpha in Ellensburg, WA :)

Yes, we have made it! We had fun in our 3 person U-Haul with Emily Axe and Mo on our laps :) We had no blown-out tires, no tickets, no malfunctions of any kind. Praise the Lord!!! Thank you for all of your prayers and financial support to get us here. We love it here!!

We arrived on Sunday the 4th and were sitting in meetings by Wednesday the 7th. We got to meet the rest of the student leaders that weekend at the Leader Training (much like AT&T that we had at WSU's XA). We taught them Death Hack and besides the bees nest we were playing beside and the super hot heat, I think they liked it :)

This past weekend we had Freshman Move-In, where on Friday we spent 9am-4pm meeting new freshman and helping them move their things into their dorms. I am so grateful that they couldn't fit more into their dorms because by the end we were all so exhausted!! We ended our evening with 15 of us squeezing into our apartment to watch "Monk at the McAllisters". Then Saturday was filled with cleaning and preparing for the annual Root Beer Kegger that evening that the Chi Alpha here has become infamous for. Whew!!! What a full 2 weeks!!! We have been having a great time settling in and getting to know everyone. Kyle is enjoying the internship and I am still praying for a job at Starbucks. Please pray with me that I get the job :)

Thank you for all of your love and support! Here are some pictures of our new place and from the Leadership Retreat. Enjoy!
