Our Last Full Week

I woke up today with a sore throat and cold feet, but when I rolled over in bed my heart was filled with so much warmth seeing my hubby and Micah snuggling next to me. (Micah snuck in early this a.m.) Matt flew in last Thursday to embark on a fun filled weekend in Las Vegas with some of his closest guy friends. He got home Sunday night and had a flight out today to Pittsburgh for training, part 2. We have so much ahead of us this week with the move. Movers come on Thursday and Friday to pack everything up. Saturday is our last dinner with family and friends and also a pre-birthday celebration for Mylie's 5th Birthday. Then 3 days later we have our final move flight to Ohio. It's all so surreal. I keep telling Matt over and over "I just don't know what to expect". Our lives are going to be so different in Ohio. But before I look forward, I want to look back at the past few weeks, months leading up to our move. It has been such a joy to see all our family and friends get together for lunches, dinners, weekend getaways, parties and so on. God has directed our lives on such a precious path which has lead us to meet so many incredible people along the way. Each stepping stone in life is filled with people, wonderful people, and as we reach out along the way those people have impacted our lives incredibly. Matt and I are so grateful to all our family and friends for loving our kids and us. Thank you for your words of encouragement, hugs and laughter through the years. Thank you for taking the time to call us on the phone or send us an e-mail. Thank you for your prayers during good times and bad. But most of all thank you for your LOVE. I was reminded today during our prayer and devotion time about a verse. Micah asked to read the book of Romans. He was looking through my bible and asked "Why do you have so many notes and highlights on these pages"? Seeing all these notes and highlights made Micah want to read a chapter from Romans before bedtime. One of my favorites popped out and I wanted to share it tonight with you: Romans 12:9-10 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.
So again, thank you for your "sincere love" and whether we are near or far apart, we will be devoted to you in brotherly love.
Good Night from Corona, CA T minus 7 days.
