What a Whirlwind!

Here we are, in the sweltering southern summer heat, getting ready for the biggest move we've ever made in our lives! We have gotten settled into our new "digs" and are meeting lots of new friends. We are really excited about not living out of a suitcase for a few weeks!!

Since the last time I posted something, we have traveled a great deal to visit with family and friends. It's been great to reconnect with so many folks that have had such an impact in our lives. I wish there was time and space enough to tell all of the stories that have been retold and memories that have been relived, but there's not. I'll just say that we've been encouraged in a way that we both really needed! We've laughed a lot, and we're realizing more and more that we aren't as young as we once were!!

As I have written before, uprooting our lives comes with some pretty hefty stress at times. Last week was one of those really stressful weeks. Computers and technology are wonderful things . . . except for when they're not! We had a big glitch and lost some important information. BUT after a few tears and a passing thought of chunking some of our technology, we managed to salvage part of the information and decided to re-enter the rest of it. It turned out to be OK.

The hardest thing we've had to do so far is leave our beloved Titus at the kennel for boarding before we headed up to VA. He will be staying with my (Melissa's) parents and he'll be taken excellent care of, but there's just something really sad about not being able to get those puppy kisses when I need a little sunshine in my day! We will get to see him once more before we travel overseas, so there's a few puppy kisses waiting for us!!

Hopefully, we'll have another update soon. Until then . . .
Love to you all,
M&M
