Moving Into Our House Before Christmas

Hey all.  It's almost been half a year since I posted here so here I am - back into blogging.  It's been a while I know, and the reason being is that I kept thinking what would I be writing about?  No more tropical jaunts, no more walking to the beach, body slamming with the surf, fish harvesting, coconut harvesting or island hopping or swinging by the fish sanctuary for a quick swim.  I was thinking who would be interested to know what's going on with us now that we're back in the States?  I don't see why there would be a need to keep on blogging about what we're doing - back to the grind, the same old, same old.  Who cares if we went house hunting in the Fall - a lot of families do that.  Who cares if we moved in before Christmas into the ranch house we purchased - that's nothing new.

The hallway to the three bedrooms and bathroom:

We have a spare"'oom" (in reference to Narnia by C.S. Lewis, except it doesn't have the magic ward robe, hehehe) for anyone who wants to visit and stay a while:

The living room has a skylight overhead that lets in plenty of sunlight (even on dreary days like today) and the moonlight during the night.

The kitchen and dining combo has outdated features but Mike plans to remodel the kitchen sometimes.  The house has a full finished basement also.

And then I thought who cares if we celebrated Christmas 2018 as a family again - Mike and I watching the three boys tore on their presents Christmas morning.  It had seemed a long time ago, many Christmases ago, when we watched all three do that.

And on and on my "who cares" kept rolling.  But one day I thought to myself - why not?  I consider this another "new season" in our lives and surely something exciting is in store for us.  Why would the Lord take us back here if He hasn't a plan for us, right?

So, if you all are game about it, I'll keep blogging or vlogging about everyday life back in America.  I am, however, going to switch (although not totally) my platform somehow and I hope you'll like the change of pace.  Mike and I thank you all for following us on our adventures all the way to the Philippines and back and pray you'll stick around for another "season" in our lives.  I promise I'll make it fun and engaging for you all.

I pray you all stay dry from this "unusually wet" Spring.  Enjoy your summer y'all....and thanks for being patient with me.  God bless!
