In the midst my relocation-my daughter/son-in-love also made some changes too. They relocated to a home only 3.9 miles from my new home! Before they move in, some major renovations must be completed. Since their old place was leased...did you guess it? They moved in with me!
The weekend before Christmas, Michele said Merry Christmas...you're getting me for Christmas! I had only been in my new house for about a month and everything seemed very out of sorts. I welcomed the thought of my daughter and her little family staying with me. In the last 3 years I have learned that "Change" is the one thing that is certain to happen. I am learning to roll with it. Having been alone on the ranch for a while I am very pleased to have the laughter and extra footsteps in my home.
I am finding joy is cooking again. My eating habits have changed a bit, but the kids seem to love whatever I put on the table. Since I am working only one day a week at the university-I almost feel like a housewife again. I keep Amy, cook, clean, laundry.....and I love it. It actually makes me feel good to be tired at the end of the day. However, I understand why God made us to bear children when we are younger! Even though I will miss them terribly when they move-I will welcome the next chapter to begin. It is really amazing if you think about it. God knows what is around the corner-sometimes good sometimes bad-if you leave it to him he will guide you. I guess what I am trying to say is-even if there are bad things-hold on to Jesus and give it time....things will change. Be thankful for all you have and praise the Lord every day. There is always much to be thankful for.

How wonderful that you've had this special time with your daughter and her family! I love that you'll be close to each other, too.
