We're Here!

Hi Friends and Family! We wanted you all to know that we have arrived at our desination. That is at least what our GPS says to us. Hayden has started to repeat most anything that our GPS tells us. One that he repeats most is "Cowcuwaitin Wout". Calculating Route if you are wondering. Back on subject; we have arrived at our home here in Gatlinburg, TN. Thank you all for your prayers. Continue to pray as we are settling in and as Hayden and I start visiting churches in the area. Pray for friends for Hayden and I to hang out with here.
We love you all and...if you are into video chatting we have started doing that with some and would love to do it with others as well. We are on igoogle. (for more information on how to do that you will have to chat with Joey)
Love you all!

Journey to Gatlinburg!

Lots of action has been happening in the Buck household. Starts with a P and ends with a G. PACKING! Luckily we have a friend from church who likes or is good at packing so she came over yesterday along with another friends and we got 5 or 6 boxes filled. Hayden's closet, hall closet, and his under Hayden's bathroom sink are done. I realized last night that I haven't posted on here in a while. So here goes.......
The first picture is a little late but this is Hayden dressed up as a Shepherd for the Christmas story play the kids put on at the Pfluger Christmas Eve gathering. It was lots of fun and Hayden was a great Shepherd. We did have to make sure he had his sheep as he left it behind a couple of times.



This next picture is Joey and I of course. The director of SMRM (Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries) needed a picture of us and I believe it will go into the Dollywood Newsletter. The 2nd picture is of the chapel where Joey will be having Sunday services. He will have one for the employees at 9:30am and one at 11:30am for the visitors. For most that haven't heard. Joey got a position as the Asst Director of the Smoky Mountain Resort Ministries and his big responsibility is being the chaplain for Dollywood Theme Park. Hayden and I will get season passes so I see lots of playdates happening for us there. If you are planning your next vacation and you are not sure come on out to Gatlinburg, TN; we would love to have some familiar faces!



This last picture... (and I apologize for the size) I uploaded it to be the largest size and this is what I got. You may have to get a magnified glass to see it. Joey and I went up a couple of weeks ago for a few days strictly to look for a house. This was a total God thing. The owners had actually were holding another house for us to look at, however the rooms were so small that I didn't think our bed would fit in the room. When we were done looking at that house the owner said he had another one for us to look at which he didn't know was going to be available. We looked at the house and immediately knew, "this is it." Garage, big yard, big fenced in back yard, big rooms, newly remodeled kitchen and bath, separate pantry and laundry room. The funny thing is...when we turned onto the road to go look at the first house I saw this one (the one we are getting) and thought that is a cute house but there are no signs in the hard that says its for sale or rent. Well it is now the house we will be living in.


We found this house the first day. So the 2nd day we signed the lease that morning and went skiing that afternoon.
Thank you all for your prayers during this journey. It's going to be fun except for all the packing and moving part.
