1 year ago

1 year ago today, we had the PODS loaded and they were picked up very early in the morning.  The house was sold 3 months prior.  We had spent our last night in the apartment - on the floors!!  We loaded the kids in the van ( the car had been driven over by parents' friends a few weeks prior.)  We then headed out to drive to somewhere I had never been.  Scariest day of my life.

We spent a week on the road - having some family time on the way.  Finally about a week later, we arrived at our new destination - California.  It is hard to believe that it has been a year since we left St. Louis.  Sometimes during this past year I have wanted nothing more than to return and some times I am loving our new home.  To say this past year has been easy would not be true.  It has been very hard but very Blessed.

God has shown us that for now, this is where we are supposed to be.  Brian loves his job and we love our new Bible Study friends.  I have not been this close to a group of girls in a while, so much fun!!!  I know it has been hard, but it has also been a lot of fun.  We are so Blessed that we are together and enjoying what this area has to offer. 

Taken Mother's Day weekend in Tahoe!!  Not the best pic of me.  Wanted to do this pose but was not thinking we would be doing it in our swim suits:)  Can't beat the view though!!!

Excited to see where God takes us in this next year.
