Saying goodbye to El Paso

Well, the time has finally come for us to say goodbye to El Paso - at least temproarily. With as big as Ft. Bliss is getting, we may very well be back some day...

David returned home yesterday morning and thankfully will be able to stay until we are all ready to go. The movers will be here to pack on Tuesday, and then load everything up Wednesday. Hopefully we will be able to get all the last minute things done on Wednesday afternoon and be on our way to our new home by Thursday morning.

Unfortunately, the offer we received on our house fell through, so we are still trying to lease or sell it. We've had quite a bit of interest, and everybody LOVES it, but there's always a "but". So we put our trust in God and know that He will provide - even if it is in His time and not ours. He has done well by us so far!


I finished up working on Thursday, and even though it was a really long day, I hated having to leave and say goodbye. I have had such a great time working in the Recovery Room this last year and made some wonderful friends. I hope I can find another job that I enjoy as much as I did here.


On to some more smile-worthy things...


We had pancakes with blueberries for breakfast this morning - Tristan really enjoyed them!



Thankfully I had the foresight to have both the kids take off their shirts before we started eating.


I was washing Grace's sheets yesterday and didn't have them done before nap time, so she just snuggled up with all of her animals and pillows - right where I had thrown them when I took them off her bed...



What a joy they are! They always provide entertainment and laughter, even if it is amid frustration sometimes...

We may be out of touch for a few weeks, but will get back on as soon as we can.
