Head West, young men...again!

Well, new chapter of life requires new blog, right? So here I sit, amidst tons of boxes, paper and miscellaneous stuff and I can't believe we are moving...again. I guess every family has its talents and moving is definitely ours. The boys are so much bigger this time and have been such a huge help. They have been packing, organizing and working their little butts off. And in between one of them will stop and start to cry. That's the really hard part...
There is nothing natural about saying goodbye. Another consequence of the garden, we were never designed to experience this kind of pain. Seperation from loved ones and friends, causes sorrow for all of us tonight. Our hearts are heavy with the thought of being so far away from family, a daughtingly long trip, and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. But somewhere deep down there is a stirring in me, maybe a small sense of adventure, that is looking forward to the future. Because even though there is pain in leaving, there is joy in the seven of us working together and setting out to make a better life...even if it means moving...again.
