first party

we had all the lagniappe interns over for dinner last night. grilled chicken, steak, potato casserole, salad, rolls. 15 guests total. we also had an unexpected but necessary visitor-the rotorooter man. our toilets were clogged but he said it was easily fixable. he came at 10 pm and we fixed him some food. it was strange but fun. the evening continued with playing "true colors" and then ended with one of our guests breaking her ankle. she misjudged the step to the backyard and stepped wrong. andy took her to the hospital where they told her she broke one bone in her ankle and is in a cast. man i felt so bad. she's a trooper so i think she'll be fine.
we have had so much help getting moved into our home. kelly stephens from chattanooga, who incidentally is the guest who broke her ankle, spent all day friday helping me hang all the pictures in my house. intern emily helped me unpack, adrienne helped me babysit, christy and ryn unloaded the grill that andy got for father's day, haley helped us move all the boxes to the street, etc. it's amazing how blessed we are to have such help.
church today was great. jean preached about our sinful hearts, and how they compare to rotten chicken. it's so true. God cleans out all the rottenness and gives us brand new hearts!
andy is leaving tomorrow for general assembly in atlanta for all week. i will miss him. it stinks because we spent all those weeks apart and now we are finally moved in and he has to go! i'll try to keep myself company with the interns.
i'm trying to talk kelly into moving here. she is so awesome. i pray that God will lead her down here!
