today

  10. Hi Sweet Friend!! Thank you for your text & prayers... they were felt for sure! We are getting settled & it is beautiful here in Southern Oregon.. just feels bittersweet. Today marks the first official day of what life might be like (since Ken starts working down here). Hoping to find a rythm after all the moving chaos. Kids are homesick, too. I loved your post & always, always, always love reading your beautiful heart spilled for us here to have a glimpse into your beautiful, "extra"ordinary days! :) Love you & sending hugs & love.. p.s. This book you gave me is SOOOOooooooooooo good. I love that it's from you. I smile every time I pick it up at the reminder of you sweet Friend! Miss you & am serious; you guys should think about a road trip down here - we'd LOVE it & there's actually a lot of fun things to do with kids. :) (just throwin' that out there) hahaha Hope you have a blessed & wonderful day, Andi!
