Well, I am sitting here in a somewhat empty house and lots of thoughts are running through my mind! The boys are in San Jose with Keith's parents. They left happy and waving, so it made it easier for me to see them go! California has been both good and bad for us. Living at the ocean has been amazing! One of my favorite things has been coming over the hill in the neighborhood and seeing the ocean. What a view! My other favorite thing here has been watching the fog roll in. I could sit here all day and just watch it roll!! The weather here has been great! We have all been spoiled to year round 60 degree weather!! I know that we will miss the friends that we have made here, and I know that we will be life long friends, even if it is just through face book!! Tyler has found a love for gymnastics, and I have found a love for canning, cooking, and scrapbooking. Henry has found that he too loves gymnastics and art. Keith picked up flying. We have realized that we love family hikes and picnics. We would not have had the time to find out that we love any of these things had we not had the opportunity to live here.
As I look toward the next chapter in our lives, I am both happy and nervous! Living away from family has allowed us to become closer as a family. Being close again will be such an adjustment. I have not yet seen the house that we will be living in, so I cannot wait to get there and see what it is like and where we will put everything!! Being there without Keith will also take some getting used to for all of us. The boys have really enjoyed having Keith home in the mornings and the evenings. I have also loved having him here, especially doing the dishes at night!! We will have to find a new way to do things in a new town and that is both scary and exciting!!!
So as I go to sleep on this last night in California, I am happy to have the friends that I have made here and happy to move on to what is to come. I have learned so much about myself and life over the last year and I cannot wait to see what is to come!
