Welcome

Our home of 15 years is sold. So many of our posessions are slowly liquidating, mostly just given away to family and friends. So...much...stuff.

I look at the inside of the pantry door. There are the lines that mark the growth of our children. And some of the day care children that were here. Even some that were here before us. Our last daughter was born in our bedroom across the hall.

We don't know where we are going from here. We don't know where or if we'll find work. I'm not even sure this old bus will make it very far. What I do know is that now more than ever we know we are in the Lord's hands.

"I have been young and now am old and yet have I not seen the righteous fosaken, nor His seed begging bread."

This journey begins the rest of our lives. It seems at the same time the culmination of everything we've been and the inauguration what we will be. An end and a beginning. Isn't life just that way everyday?

Came over to visit and subscribe from your mother's Xanga site. I could do some of what you are doing in a nano second....I'm not sure I could do the hoping to find work wherever part and know my husband couldn't. Safety and blessings are wished for this new phase of your life. How exciting!

This is majorly exciting!!! Our most wonderful memories are motorhoming a few years ago. If you do get close to Pasco - Richland or Kennewick, WA otherwise known as Tri-Cities and need a parking spot, let us know. We are 30 minutes from the oregon border and have a parking spot for an RV.
