We made it!

Well we made it! We actually pulled in a day early and decided to check out the townhomes and some of the married students were outside and they unloaded our truck and opened our home a day early for us. RTS also provided a home care package that was very nice. The townhomes are very nice and in a gated & security patroled community.
Its very green here and somewhat dense with ivy and bush. We have bugs the size of our Uhaul and giant Wasps to boot. At night we have a million bug/critter orchestra enchanting the night sky with their various sounds of clicking and croaking.
I will be updating rehersfamily.com a little latter this evening with pictures of the trip and townhome.

Love you all,

Chris

Last Day in Big Bear

Well...the time has come and we are packing up. Speaking of which its time to pack the computer. Also it was planned to update the blog every day of the trip. However, I just realized that will cost around $20+ a day at the hotels to get internet. So I will update once around the last day of the trip out.

Thanks once again for everyones help it really has meant alot to us. We will miss y'all dearly. =)

Dinner @ my sister Stephanies

Ok...I wasn't going to post this but I did want to publicly thank my sister and her family for inviting me to their house for father's day. The meal was the best meal I have ever had...and I have had some good meals. Lobster tails on a skewer with 12oz steaks...WOW! Then it was topped off with a very generous money gift...thank you and no it will go further than a tank of gas just watch me stretch it! =)

I love you all,

Chris

Last Lord's Day at High Desert URC

Hum...will I miss the drive from Big Bear to the URC? Doubt it. But we will for sure miss all the friends and families we have come to love and know during our 4+ year layover in Big Bear. Each and everyone of you have made an impact on our lives in one way or another and we are thus thankful to God always for you all. Having said that, I do rejoice that I will no longer be distracted in services by Mark Martinez rocking back and forth. Does he have some remnants of pentecostal theology or just happy to be there? Just kidding buddy.

Anyway, we head out on Wednesday and will be documenting our trip and new life out in Mississippi on this Blog and at http://www.rehersfamily.com as a gift to you all. We hope you enjoy it from time to time.

May Lord continue to provide your daily bread as you give thanks to him in all things and richly bless you for his name sake.

Love,

Chris Rehers

Pictures rehersfamily.com

In an attempt to clear room on my memory sticks, so I can take pictures on our trip to Mississippi, I have loaded a bunch of new pictures of the kids and what not onto rehersfamily.com - Over the next several days, prior to leaving, I will try to get as many pictures up as I can. So check everyday! Ah, and take note you may need to click the Refresh button on your browser to view the updated pictures as your browser will most likely load the older version from memory.

The Move

Well we are getting down to the wire here and much is to be done by way of getting packed. I had no idea I aquired so much junk over these past years...gee wiz! Perhaps I will learn from this?

As we get ready for the drive on Wednesday 6/21 I have been reflecting on how everyone at Big Bear Valley Orthodox Presbyterian Church has treated us and its simply amazing. Each and everyone of you have taken us in and made us part of your familes. We are truly going to miss you all or should I say y'all?

I also wanted to thank everyone for pitching in wherever they could with the yard sale. The donations raised from this have helped tremendously and our move to Jackson, Mississippi would not be possible otherwise, thanks. Also the B-B-Q at the Seaman's house was delightful. The food and the smokes were great. Roping saw horse cattle was indeed a highlight in itself. Ian, on the way home said, "I want to stay there forever!" while crying.

Lastly, before I sign off, I wanted everyone to know that I will be documenting our move and life in Mississippi as it unfolds by updating rehersfamily.com and this blog. Please come and visit often to see new pictures and other various updates. I plan on updating the site every few days, well until seminary starts of course =)

Love you all,

Chris
