merry Christmas.

We write this blog as we travel west bound (don’t worry I am not operating the vehicle) :). As we jumped on I-40 this AM, we couldn’t believe that five months had quickly gone by.  Immediately we began retracing the footsteps that brought us to Tennessee, remembering the first minute we pulled in to town. After moments of reminiscing and watching familiar landmarks pass by, we both starred, in silence, through rainy windows, knowing that we were thinking the same thing. The last five months of our lives, or year for that matter, have been a rollercoaster of change, challenge, creation, trust, risk, and growth. We would like to share with you some of the highlights of our 2011:

• The opportunity Tim had to work for Fort Sumner Monuments, with his family, as the headstone designer and engraver.
• The opportunity Misty had to be a part of the DeBaca Family Practice Clinic team as the Operations and IT Manager.
• Spending time with Mom and Dad Sena and Crystal in Fort Sumner.
• Haiti (the pup) turning two in February.
• Time spent with our Clovis (the Vine) community group.
• Our trip to Haiti in March to see Eli, Wilna and the rest of our Haitian family.
• Misty being asked to join the staff at BGM.
• Our first trip to Nashville in May to attend the annual BGM fundraiser and to hang with our future Nash family.
• Our sweet niece, Trinity Jean, was born on July 6^th!
• Spending two weeks in Flagstaff with our new niece (and the rest of the family of course:))
• Our going away party given by the Tim’s family.
• Beginning our new life in Nashville in August.
• Meeting our new Church family at Mosaic Nashville.
• Meeting new friends in Nashville.
• Misty’s vision trip with the BGM staff to Haiti in August.
• Harlie turning one in August.
• Having our first guests Mom and Dad Torrez to our new home in September.
• Beginning our involvement at the Nashville Rescue Mission.

• Tim being asked to join the myLIFEspeaks family in October.
• Seeing our friends graduate from the recovery program at the NRM in November.

Which brings us to today… 

We are so very thankful for the journey that we are blessed to partake in on a daily basis. We pray that as our pages are written in to 2012, that we continue to walk in obedience and strive to become more like our Creator, Jesus, every day that we have breath, in whatever way that means. We pray this for you and your family as well… wishing you a Merry Christmas.

In Great Love,

Tim, Misty, Haiti and Harlie
