Weekend in Review

We spent a marvelous weekend relaxing with Cameron's parents. There was no agenda, no wake up time, no go to bed time. Just relaxation. We went to Granny Janie's (Shawna's mama) house Sunday evening and played in her very very nice pool. It was SO nice. The weather was perfect, the kids were great! The food was just right. Then on Monday, Gracie did the unthinkable. She went to Fort Worth without us! She is staying with Uncle Cory, Aunt Shawna, and the boy cousins until Wednesday evening when we arrive (Colby graduates Kindergarten Thursday morning...by the way, Gracie completed kindergarten 2 weeks ago tomorrow!). So far, she does not miss me at all! Now let me just say, she won't spend the night with anyone (except my mom). She starts to cry saying she misses us and comes home. So this is HUGE. Exciting.

Another exciting tidbit...we are going to visit and tour the grounds of Southwestern University while we are in the metroplex. If God leads us in this direction, it will mean a lot of very difficult, although not bad, changes. We are praying very diligently about what He would have us to do and trying to explore more possibilities than just the ones that we want. So that is that. We are trying our hardest to be obedient and optimistic. Anything to win this race -- yes?!!

Gracie is too busy to miss you. But she knows it is only one day until she gets to see you. I think the key is this: not to talk with her at bedtime. That was better for my kids when they were little. I am excited about all the avenues you guys are exploring and we are supportive of what ever and where ever God has you and your family.

I continue to pray for you as you make decisions.

So whats at Southwestern. The only thing that ran through my mind is...ugh moving sucks. HAHA! Just have an open heart and mind. Don't make a decision based on your emotions. Sometimes our human emotions get in the way of what God is really telling us, and of course its hard to tell the difference. I know you guys will know what to do when the time comes.
