So 'we' are blogging now - Amy

Ok. So this is our blog. I say 'our' and call it the 'TobeyFam' blog in hopes that Andy and I will both post but....we'll see about that. :) I've never done this before (so don't judge me if it's totally uninteresting) and I have to say I feel weird about it but I thought it would be a good way to keep friends and family updated about our new life on Whidbey Island, Washington.
So we're here. The weather has actually been pretty good...suckas! just kidding. but really it's been nice. Jackson decided to chase a deer into the woods after being here for like less than 10 minutes. Freaked us out but we found the little terrorist and got him back in the house safe and sound, thank goodness! We've explored a park, got a bank account, visited the local grocery store...all the things you do when you're trying to get settled i guess but it's hard to feel settled. I know it's unrealistic but I want to feel settled yesterday. It's pretty lonely being in life limbo. We miss our friends and family a lot! I'm tearing up as I think about everyone at youth group. I have to say this whole process has so far stretched my faith in ways I would have never thought of before. I'm having to depend on God for emotional needs I never knew existed. I suppose growing in faith while learning to lean on God and trust in Him more isn't the worst thing that could ever happen.
I wore a flower in my hair today and felt good about it. I think I'll do that more often. :)
