Waiting

I realize it has been over a week since my last post but I'm not sure what has kept me so busy. We have been just trucking along waiting anxiously for the arrival of moving day. We are so excited to get there and make Mansfield home. We have so many ideas of setting up the house. We are just excited to get there and get moving on the next chapter in our lives.

Time is dragging on here though. Leland is not fond of good-byes at all so this waiting period is really tough on him. Yesterday at our congregation they "honored" us after the monthly potluck with a money tree. We were quite surprised with the $500. We have such a nice group of people here. We will miss them dearly.

Saturday was my final "Girl's Night Out" with my group here. I hope I am so fortunate in Mansfield to find such a great group of friends. We had a good time eating and shopping in Midland together. I will miss them greatly. I had intentions of getting a group picture but forgot all evening. Hopefully before we move we will all be in one location to get a group shot.

Tomorrow is Ryland's birthday. Leland told him that the two of them would do whatever he wants. They went to the store last night and Ryland picked out Cookie Crisp cereal for breakfast and Lunchables for lunch tomorrow. Wouldn't it be nice if it was always that easy to please him? :) We have VBS this week so his cake party will be after VBS tomorrow evening. This is the first time he will have kids his own age at his party. We have always been at Mountain View Christian Camp for his birthdays so this is a new experience for him. I'm sure I'll have plenty of pictures.

Well, sorry for the randomness. That really is about it for us lately. We will be doing lots of packing this week. Hope you have a productive week also. :)
