Our Best Is Yet To Be...: Hoover house. staff retreat. cousin time. end of summer.

These are a few pics of our last couple days in the Hoover house. We were so grateful for the provision God gave us through this home. So thankful for 2 1/2 sweet and memorable years there.

Game days. stellar play room. superhero hideouts. lots of leaf clean up. my garage laundry room. (won't miss that). going from 3 to 4 loves. becoming a family of 6. gutting half a house and remodeling when you don't know how. lots of forts. arts and crafts. game nights. dance parties. lego building. Brooks animals everywhere, all the time...probably still being found in hidden places. Joy's first steps.breakfast nights. the vintage booth. my awesome built in porch planter. so close to campus. watching boys learn to ride bikes, skateboard, throw the football. Brooks accepting Jesus as his Savior. Brooks crazy encounters with the Lord. Beau's amazing revelations and wisdom from the Word. Nate's prophetic dreams and shepherd's heart evolving. much new identity for us all as a family happened over those days and nights in the Hoover house. we are all forever blessed by all that happened and was released.

Thank you Lord!

laundry basket rides by Beau or Daddy was always a highlight.

Brooks painting in this exact spot on the kitchen floor happened everyday if not every other.

Last family meal around the vintage booth. miss her.

last after dinner kitchen dance party.

STAFF RETREAT

didn't really take many pics, but was our sweetest and most authentic time as a staff since we planted the church. Thank you Lord for all of our growth together and individually. Grateful for fresh vision!

You can't tell in this pic but Kourtney Hartsock had to brave and attack the million and one crazy bug/horse fly things having a family union at the dock. It was crazy. They didn't mess with Kourt though :)
