Long Time No Post

Hello everyone!

I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to post an update. I was struggling with issues with my depression again. Praise the Lord that I have made it through that battle. I am so thankful to my entire family. They really love on me and support me. I have the best family ever! To those of you who called and encouraged me to get out of bed, thank you. I may not have done it, but I know that is what helps!!!

David is almost done with kindergarten. He only has 14 days of school left. I cannot believe that!!! He is excited for the summer, and he is looking forward to being a first grader next year. He has grown by leaps and bounds in every area of his life this school year. He has made a lot of good friends at school and church. Ed and I have made a lot of good friends as well through our small group at church. God has blessed us with AWESOME leadership at our church who have written the vision and made it clear so we can run with it! I have also made good friends with several of the moms of other kids in David's class.

Faribault is finally beginning to feel like home. We have been here 10 months now. It will be a year mid-July. I know in my head that moving is always a big transition, but I am never really mentally or emotionally prepared for it. Moving is an even bigger transition when you are moving into a completely new community where you need to establish yourself again. We live at least an hour away from all of our friends in the Twin Cities area. With gas prices as high as they are, it is simply not feasible to visit people often. I desperately needed to make friends, and God hooked us up with a small group. Our cell group leaders live in our neighborhood. God is SO GOOD!

We will be attending David's first musical performance tomorrow. His class and another one of the kindergarten classes will be singing for us tomorrow at 2:15 pm. He has been counting down for the concert for the past week and a half.

Many blessings to you and yours!

Love, The Gulland Family
