This is a picture of us on the bay of Lake Erie. It is really pretty. Cedar Point, the amusement park is very faintly in the background. We are about 20 minutes from the lake. We think that is pretty cool.

We have been settling in to our new surroundings. People in Ohio talk really fast and never say y'all. Other than that they are the same as everyone else in the world!

The people we have met are amazing. We had people helping us like mad when we were getting our house ready to live in. You wouldn't believe the support we had and the number of hours that were put into making our house a home. I will be posting before and after pictures in a bit.

We are not settled in a routine yet, but as soon as we are we will have more regular communication like this one.

Everything we have prayed for for so long is right here in our hands. I cannot express how grateful I am and humbled too. We miss our families and our Pennsylvania family like crazy. I am more convinced everyday that this is right where we should be!

Our students are terrific. We have a good mix of those who are quite spiritual mature to those who haven't a clue yet. We are trying to get to know them better everyday and enjoying every minute of it! We have our fall kickoff on September 12th so we are focused on making that excellent.

I started homeschool with Ashton about a week and a half ago. We are doing half days right now. We are getting the hang of it and God has provided some friends for her already so that is great! I am really looking forward to our year together!

Later for all of you in Blog-land. Thanks for praying and hanging with us!

Hogue's Moving Day

Well, it is happening. We are moving. I wanted everyone to know how to reach us so here is our contact info...

Address:
Chris, Andrea, Ashton, & Noelle Hogue
146 Robert Ave.
Bellevue, OH 44811

Chris (419)217-6649
Dree (419)217-6652

Emails are the same as follows:
cdhogue@gmail.com
dreehogue@gmail.com

"Pastor Chris'" work:
Bellevue Alliance Church
1001 Monroe Street
Bellevue, OH 44811

We do not have a land line just yet at our new house but if we get one we will let you all know what the number is.

We close on our house at 11 AM on Friday the 3rd. We pack the truck in PA on Aug. 9th after we do some fix-ups to the house in OH.

Leaving our Penns Valley family is terribly hard. We love them all so very much.

If you are praying please pray that as a family we will have unity throughout this time and that we will all stay healthy. Our kids are pretty resilient but change affects them still so please pray for them both.

Off to pack,
Dree
