We said farewell to New Haven yesterday and are on our way to Shiprock. It was very hard for us to say goodbye to our family and friends. We will miss you all. We said one last goodbye to our first home. Lots of great memories in that house - the excitement of being first time homeowners, Ryan doing such a great job doing all the landscaping, bringing both of our babies home from the hospital, birthday parties and holidays...too many memories to list. But there is a time and season for everything and the time for our stay in that house has ended. As we prepared to depart, we prayed a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the gift that He gave us in our home and prayed that it will be such a blessing and gift to the new owners.
We stayed in O'Fallon, Illinois last night just outside of St. Louis. We had a fun day yesterday making a stop at Ryan's alma mater - Indiana State in Terre Haute. Krista had never been to this campus before and was impressed with its beauty and character. The kids, especially James, was quite impressed with the largel water fountain and the mini ampitheater seating surrounding it that provided the perfect ramp/race track for the kids to work off energy before getting in the car and getting to the hotel. At first, Lily didn't want to go to Daddy's school. She just wanted to go to the hotel. But once she saw the fun that was waiting for her around the fountain, she quickly changed her mind and waiting to go to the hotel was acceptable.
Today we plan to stay in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our drive has been good thus far. We saw storms in the distance as we drove but they didn't reach us until we were in the hotel. Thank you for all your prayers and support. God bless!!!
