On the horizon

I just love all the little surprise pictures the kids leave on the camera for me!

My ever hard working husband. I'm so very thankful for having this fantastic man in my life. He is so very patient with all my faults and oddities. he works so hard to try to cover all his responsibilities. He is almost done with school. One more semester! About a year ago we realised that this fabled graduation was actually with in the tangible future and we just sad there dumbfounded for some time trying to imagine life without school. Life on our terms and not what is required for the degree. Then we realized that we could go anywhere in the world and that was both unsettling and a rush of excitement. After a looooooooooong (months) time brainstorming and deliberating and testing various plans, Including moving to Denmark, and allot of talking about it all over again, the options came down to staying right where we are or better yet moving to the Sacramento area where we have a lot of family. Anywhere else we want to live is to cold for Jed's odd health issue. I was really hoping Denmark would work but there are just to many cold days in the year despite the mild climate. So sad. Hopefully one day we will have more answers and treatments for this strange cold weather issue and then maybe the many other options will be back on the table.

We are crossing our fingers and hoping that Jed is getting a job in California.

If not we'll try and get a job very close to where we are now and stay in the area. We have Jed's brother and his wife and kids here and we have become very close to so many wonderful people here in Pflugerville that we would really be sad to leave. They are our family away from family. They have been here for us through the holidays and the birthday parties and all the ups and downs. A big thank You to all the wonderful people we have come to know and love in out years here is definitely due for this thanksgiving.

THANK YOU!

Mostly though I'm thankful for my husband! over the years I have steadily come to appreciate more and more the person he is. I'm so proud of him. I've watched as he has struggled through various obstacles and I admire his courage and integrity. I'm excited for the rest of our lives together and so very grateful for our common shared faith and love.
