But I've got some exciting news!
Four weeks ago, we moved! ...not to a new base or state, just to a new neighborhood that comes with a larger house and a better view. We love it so far. It's a breath of fresh air and as close as we're going to come to a new beginning without having official military orders; which I'm still holding out for- I've got that moving bug...ready to go, see, and explore new regions, countries, and cultures.
But for now, we're busy exploring our new surroundings and forming new routines.
In the morning hours, we hit the 3.4 mile walking trail that is conveniently located a block from our home. The best part is, it swings through a park and hangs a left back to our front yard. The kids look forward to this little routine, and to be honest, I'm enjoying it myself...even with the intense heat.
When the sun begins to settle, we pull out the bikes to squeeze the remaining drops of Oklahoma's golden rays. The kids are quiet, expelling their last ounce of energy in a soothing rhythm of petal, push, glide, while the sun drowns the swaying fields of wildflowers and foliage that rattle with the wind in pools of canary yellow and burnt orange; we're bathed in the evening light.
This is my therapy, my church, my time to reflect and clear my head.
On a side-note, I've been busy wrapping up some projects that I'd love to share with you over the next couple of weeks!
Things are turning out to be on the sunny side-- after all, it is Friday!

I waa wondering what you were up to. Glad you have a different house and adventure around the corner. The kids are growing so much. William's hair is just as curly as my grandson' s hair and his sister's hair is straight! Go figure. Have a good weekend.
