- THANK YOU FROM THE LOVETT FAMILY The Lovetts are all moved into our new home and we would like to sincerely thank everyone who came to the house blessing last Friday and helped us move on Saturday. We had over 30 people at the house blessing and it meant so much to us! A great group of extremely hard working friends came and worked most of the day in the heat on Saturday to get everything moved. We literally couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you also for all of the cards, house warming gifts, and meals. We appreciate you!
