home sweet home...

or something like that.

after 1795.40 miles, we arrived at our new house. we've been in a week and all is good. well, if you call spontaneous bursting into to tears good. there are many to tales to tell from our travels and our first week here, but the bottom line is this: god is good. my husband is a rock. my kids are champs. and our lives are not our own.

we had a family motto growing up, "off on another one of life's great adventures". we were an air force family and this was my mom's way of rallying her own troops, her 4 little girls. even after my dad retired and we were settled, the motto continued on. and it proved effective. though none of her four daughters would be considered avid adventurers, we are best friends. and friendship is one of life's greatest adventures. thank you, mommy.

now it's my turn to have a family. and my little family is off on another one of life's great adventures.  here we are. a little weary and worn. still slightly surrounded by boxes. but grateful. and ready for the adventure that awaits...

That picture seems so surreal to me. Glad to see everyone smiling though. Call me during a random tear moment - would love to help you through one. I believe I owe you. ;)

Tate looks like a man! SO BIG! I remember running in circles with him around your kitchen/ family room at your first old house in Muncie! WOW!

Congrats on a successful move! It's been months since I've read blogs, probably since I stopped blogging. Glad to see all is well with you and the family!
