After 8 days in a Honda Civic with two kids, a dog, a ton of luggage, a portable dvd player that only played Dora the Explorer the entire time, and I think approximately 3000 miles of driving, it is nice to be in Washington. The trip was beautiful, we stayed in Colorado Springs, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Boise, and Portland and saw and experienced so many new things. All the gorgeous landscapes made me wonder how anyone could ever question the existance of God. If you do my suggestion is .. make a cross country trip where you are in the car for 8 hours a day for 8 days and if you can do it without killing anyone.. He MUST exist .. lol. We took lots of pics and when we have time I'll post some.
We arrived at McChord the Saturday before Easter and on Monday morning they had a house ready for us. So we moved in that Wednesday, but only 2/3 of our stuff made it, so we had to wait until yesterday to get our computer and a bunch of other electronics. It felt like Christmas being able to get back on the internet and connect with friends again.
This place is so much different than Texas, green and mountainy, it's just beautiful. The weather has been great - but I hear the winters are hard. My neighbor said when we arrived they had just ended 38 straight days of rain. YIPES!!!
God is so faithful to have gotten us here safely. Now we just have to find a church and make some friends.
I sure do miss everyone back home in good ol' Abilene. Hope y'all are doing well. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and I'm going to try to get back to everyone who posted and commented while I was away for 3 whole weeks.. goodness that felt like forever.
