My goodness where did two months go? For that matter where did four months go? It is hard to believe that is how long we have been Washington residents. But here we are...in the midst of the Christmas season and getting ready to make a whole batch of new memories.
We already got to experience our first snow storm and it was glorious! I'm sure it was made better by the fact that the snow only lasted five days, but those five days were awesome. Snow clothes and sledding and hot chocolate. People keep asking if I am missing San Diego and in all honesty, I am not. That isn't to say I am not "homesick" for a thing or two, but when I step back and look at life, I choose here. Right now. Today. This is life. School buses and playing with the neighbors. Random drop in by friends to pick up crock pots. Phone calls from the school to say thank you. Life is definitely slower here and different. There is almost an innocence that catches me off guard at times. Things aren't overdone. Expectations aren't sky high. No one seems to need to impress anyone else. Oh, I am sure there are those circles, but they are not the majority. I love that we made this change...that God saw fit to bring our family here. I will always love CA, because it is where most of my memories are. But as the new memories start to form, I sometimes have a sense of deja vu...like this is home and where I was suppose to be all along.

I love that you are loving life and feeling "at home". This reminds me of the lovely chat we had and about how important it is to live life just like this, just like we talked about. I would love for some of that "way of life" to rub off on a few (hundred) people around here. We will have to chat again soon - so refreshing and simple. Just like a friendship should be. Three cheers to making new memories and being exactly where God has you. In everything there is a purpose - His purpose. Love you my friend!
