Change is a good thing

I can get caught in a rut after awhile of being in one place. It is easy for me to make excuses for not getting things done or for not being creative or trying new things. Even in Mexico after a couple of months it was the same-old, same-old. Through no fault of Mexico but of my own.

But now we are in a new town with new things to look at, new parks to run around in, new motivations.  Hey, I have even managed to write a blog post 2 days in a row! Things I want to do now that I am home....read more, excercise regularly, not watch tv as much (or surf the net), make things.

I discovered pinterest and have a boat load of crafts and diy projects to try like this

The time of our lives

Sorry folks. I just realized it's been way too long since I posted and now we are HOME!! It is hard for me to summarize (or remember) the last few months in Mazatlan but I know that it was good! It was both a whirlwind and a slow moving train as I was looking forward to being home and with family and friends again.

Breckyn and I flew home last weekend and enjoyed the holiday with my parents and brother Mark who came into town to see us. Steve left on Monday and has been working his way across the country with his good friend Josh who flew down to help him drive. We were so grateful for his willingness to make the trip with him as it's not really fun to drive 3600 miles in 3 days. But they did it.

Steve is dropping Josh off in his hometown of St. Louis and then Steve is driving the last leg of the journey by himself. He should be here Friday night or Saturday at some point. Probably Friday as I know he misses his baby girl very much!

So from here we are living with my parents and Steve is job hunting. I have no idea what the plans are other than that. But you know what? If I learned one thing in the last year, it's that God has us in the palm of his hand and I am not worried at all about what his plans are for us.

I just know that we followed him to Mexico and had the time of our lives.
