Mar. 11, 2007 - Home again, home again jiggity jig!
We are home from Cancun with sand between our toes, sunburn on our nose and a lot of wonderful memories. The beach and waters of Cancun were amazing. We were pampered and well taken care of at the resort, but nothing can compare to being home with our family. As nice as it all was, home is where I belong. Being a mom and taking care of my family is what I was meant to do.
We made it home on Thursday (after being stuck overnight in Phoenix...long story) and put our house on the market Friday. Before leaving for vacation it was easy to not face the full reality of what lies ahead for us. The trip was sort of a buffer between me and reality. Remember the place I like to live...denial? As we packed up to come home it began to sink in...we are moving to Texas. Seeing the sign go up in our front yard was another one of those moments. Can't deny it anymore. Life as we know it is no more.
We are excited to see what the Lord has in store for our family. It is the beginning of a grand and wonderful adventure...it's just the getting ready for the adventure that's the challenge.
On an unrelated note, our computer crashed while we were on vacation. We are working now on a loaner, which means I have lost all my saved feeds. I will try to get around to catching up with everyone as time allows.
Well I've been checking your blog to see what's up with your move. I think we'll be blogging about the changes at the same time. We just found out this week that we are moving states as well. ARIZONA for us.
I'm excited and scared a bit at the same time.
I'm ready for the adventure, but the actual physical MOVING is tiresome to me. The whole packing and selling and giving away junk. That whole thing makes me tired.
I'll be checking your blog to see how you come along with the whole process. I'm sure you'll be an encouragement to me.
glad to hear you had a good time! I don't envy you the packing, the last time we did it I promised myself never again!! (never say never...) Life is an adventure, I hope you find the perfect house and the perfect spot for your family. Are we gonna see some pictures of Cancun?

Oh! It has been too long since I've checked in on you. I didn't know you were going to Cancun! I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you're home safely.
Yes, and now reality hits. Listing, selling, packing, moving. (hopefully in that order...) I pray you'll see God's goodness and faithfulness through it all.
So glad that you had a wonderful trip to Cancun. I know just how you feel about home being the best place to be. I'm always so happy to come home to our three treasures. : )
I continue to pray for you each day as you trust the Lord with your future move.
Much love,
Julie
Wow, it's been a while since I've checked up on my friends' various blogs! Sounds like the trip to Cancun was fabulous, but I completely identify with the "home is where I belong" feeling. I'd be the same way. ;-)
Sorry you're facing the stress of a big move. I hope you'll be able to see it as an adventure, though. God works in ways we don't understand, but He is always good. I'll be praying that the move goes well for all of you (and with as little stress as possible)!
Remember: No matter how far away you move, all of your blogging friends are no farther away than your computer! :-)
