Changes

Don't you just hate change? Maybe hate is too strong of a word but dread change, annoyed with change. When Mike and I first married, we moved every two years. He worked in the oil field so with that a move or three was expected.

The past 10 years I had grown accustomed to my little corner of town with my little family. No drama just everyday routines that were followed. Losing mom almost 2 years ago made me aware that change will always happen and sometimes routines are not always followed. This week, Mike and his family learned about that type of change.

Mike's mom passed away this week. It breaks my heart that he would have to go thru that type of heart break and change. What is really the toughest part is his Dad will be completely lost. Carolyn did EVERYTHING for him. Pay bills, make appointments, laundry, cook, clean. You name it, she did it.

We'll be staying here for about 2 weeks or so to help him in whatever way he needs. This house is a tri-level house including basement. I can't imagine him roaming around this big house by himself. Everywhere you look you see Carolyn.

Mike is able to work from up here and of course, school can be done also. Amanda was thrilled beyond belief that we are able to carry our school stuff with us!! LOL!!!

She actually saw "real" snow! We rarely see the good stuff there in Texas. She and her cousin made a snowman and played in it for 2 days!

From Leslie's blog it sounds like things are going good in India. A newly married couple in our church found out they were expecting a baby, but now their not. See, change.

I know that none of this is a "surprise" to God. He's got it all under control.
