At least someone is enjoying the boxes and chaos of the move

Outward Bound

Things are starting to become real as I type this and look at the mountain of boxes in our living room (most of which are still empty, by the way). We've started saying our good-byes and had a few farewell parties. Thanks Rudi and Steph for hosting. The party was a blast and the band was awesome. Keep us updated on the future of 'The Band'. Friday holds another party for Young Lifers old and new. We will definitely miss our friends here. It's great to reflect on how God has blessed Kevin and me through all the relationships we have begun in Chicago. And even though we're moving, I feel confident in saying those closest to us will stay close. I'm getting good at bribing people into visiting us in California. "We'll take you anywhere you want to go in CA if you visit" "We have 2 extra bedrooms" "I have 2 single and cute sisters i can introduce you to." Sorry girls, i hope you don't mind:)

As bitter as the good-byes have been, I hope the hellos are just as sweet when we arrive in Modesto. And I know that in all of this, God is good.

Soon-to-be Californians

So here it is - the tameling family blog. With the upcoming move, we thought it would be a great way to stay in touch with our favorite family and friends in chicago. So visit this site frequently, we'd love to hear from you guys and we know you want to see pictures of mason. I promise to post often.
