Friendship and Love

Don't ever doubt that every single one of you, my brothers and sisters given to us by Jehovah himself, have been invited into our lives for a reason. For the joy you give, the support you provide, and the hugs you hand over. There have been many brothers and sisters come and go in our lives, either we move or they move, that we have lost contact with. Then there are others we hold tight to and never let go. You know you are of that latter category if you are reading this post.

So no matter what happens, whether it be good, bad or ugly, you are stuck with us in your lives forever. So just get used to it ok? There's nothing that can be said, nothing that can be done, that will ever take you away from us or out of hearts and love. Friendship and love are worth far more than anything that can be thrown at them. I mean, who are we to not support and love each other when Jehovah God has given us to each other to do precisely that? We love you all!

Perspective Please

We seem to be getting hit with a ton of junk - delay on selling the house, lots and lots of money going to repair bills for the vehicles and such (another costly repair reared its ugly head just this evening!). All of which has us wondering - will we and how do we get to Alaska? We've spent all our traveling savings on repairs and these unexpected things that a bit of stress creeps in on us. And then I think ahead to Saturday...and the memorial of a dear friend I've known for about a third of my life. She fought well and held strong for such a long time and yet death waited no more when the cancer took over. And then I think "Who am I to complain about money, vehicles, and not getting my new glasses and sunglasses as planned?" I am healthy, happy and safe and sound and (almost) warm in my home tonight with my hubby working hard to find work in Alaska and move our family. Lives come and go every second on this planet. But for what she has taught me in life and death, I want to say "Thank You, Betty Dozier. I will always love and cherish you. Thank you for the reminders and perspective. See you on the other side of this system, dear sister!"

Why I love Boise...In Pictures.

Enough said? I think so!

Silence is golden? Yeah. Right.

Or not. Sitting in an empty house that is mostly packed while your husband is on his way to Alaska moving our very dear friends and attend two job interviews is not my ideal way of spending the night. Dinner for one is oh so tough. I mean really depressing. No wonder I got married. On the bright side, we should be done and have the sale of the house finalized (pinch me!) in a couple of weeks. Then it's off to the last frontier for my own great adventures. Perhaps I should think of changing the name of the blog to somehow reflect this. I will allow a time of settling in to decide how best to reflect my new surroundings. On the up side, I got to take two little boys (Felix and Jade) to school and pick them up and have a park day with them and Shiloh (Jade's little sis) and their mother Chelsea. It was fabulous. Except for the mosquitoes. Yep. They are here already. But with the river floods, not that much of a surprise. A deluge of the blood suckers awaits. And they are hungry! Some things never do change.
