Hi all! So Raidel took a call to Chandler CRC in Chandler, MN. We relocated last week and have been doing our best to settle in to our new surroundings. Chandler has been very welcoming and we have enjoyed our first week here for sure. We are waiting to get internet at the house yet and so I'll have to wait to post pictures till then.
Baby is loving being here too. She has been sleeping 12 to 14 hours a night and then taking a 3 hour nap in the afternoon. She has been so happy and healthy!
I'll have to post more later, and hopefully with pictures. Can't wait to get internet at the house! ;)

Update - (I've got to get better at this...)
So I've got to get better at this! :)
Raidel preached this past Sunday at the Grandville/Jenison Congregational Church. There were a few microphone issues, but the sermon was wonderful! We were delighted to have one of our neighbors come to hear the sermon as well. Big thanks to the Grandville/Jenison Congregational Church for having us. This church is also where my father most recently took a call. He will now be their lead pastor and preach every Sunday. If you're in need of a good sermon, or just want to hear my old man preach, feel free to come by! Service starts at 10:30am.
The search for employment continues. Raidel is keeping his options open. We are committed to whatever the Lord calls us to...and now just hoping that he'll make that clear to us. Prayers are coveted!
Celia is growing so fast! She is developing her own little personality now and it's awesome! She's so happy (most of the time); however, does not allow her parents to sleep! :( Maybe by the time she's 10 we'll get a full nights rest. We have a doctor's visit coming up at the end of this week, so we'll update you about her health after. She is getting so tall, I'm interested to hear her percentile!
Raidel's mom, Asela, is planning a trip to Cuba at the end of July. She is very excited to see family, and we are excited for her as well. Right now we are busy packing and making sure we are getting the necessities to fill up some suitcases! We hope one day soon we will be able to visit as well. For now, we are sending our love and a bunch of other stuff! :)
That's it for now! Keep in touch!

Time for an update...
Hello all...well, not much has happened since I last updated our blog. Raidel is still finishing up school. He has a couple classes next week and then a few big, BIG, papers to finish and will be all done. Again, if interested, he graduates May 21, at 11am (http://www.calvinseminary.edu/events/commencement/2011/index.php?pNav=current)
Please feel free to attend - no ticket needed!
No word on a job position for him yet, but we are hopeful and know something will come along. We are praying for guidance.
Work is busy, busy, busy for me, but I'm loving it.
Baby girl is doing wonderful as well. She is so anxious to start moving around on her own. She wiggles a lot when we hold her. She tries to pull herself up on the side of the couch. If we help her, she will stand there for a minute on her own and even try to make her way on her own. She needs to gain the concept of cause and effect though as she still will push herself backward for you to catch her. We are so blessed!

Closer and closer...
We are getting so close to the end of Raidel's school year. Only a month left. Raidel has a few big papers to write yet and some presentations as well. Even so, it's hard not to fill with excitement after 8 long years of studying. It is also becoming more and more real to us as we begin to discuss the future. We do not have any definite plans right now, but we are praying and open to God's leading. Raidel has heard about a few different options and has applied to a few places as well. We will keep you updated as we hear more.
His last day of class is May 11. Birthday is May 14. Exam week is May 16-20. GRADUATION is May 21!!
Celia is doing great and growing SO FAST! She had her six month check up today. Her ear infection has cleared up and she is back to being her healthy self. She weighed in at 21 pounds 4 ounces. I will try to remember to post some updated photos for your viewing pleasure.

Bloggin' again!
Hello friends and family! I have decided to start updating our blog again. There are so many of you who have wanted updates or were wondering why we stopped writing on our blog. We are entering a new stage in life and are excited to share.
Raidel is due to graduate in May. We are both excited and looking forward to this, especially because our whole dating/married life we have both been in school. It will be an exciting transition! We do not currently have any sound leads on a position for Raidel after graduation. We are open to hearing what is out there and if you have any ideas, feel free to pass them along.
Celia is doing well and growing fast. She is almost 6 months now! Wow how time flies! She is happy and healthy, but successfully keeps her parents up all night. I'm pretty sure we have tried every tactic there is to no avail. Prayer for her to have restful sleep is coveted.
My goal is to update this once every two weeks. Those who actually read can hold me accountable to that! :) Take care and keep in touch!
