Are we a little nuts? Yes we are. We know it. How do you trade sunshine for snow and ice? It's a God thing. We've known it all along and times like these, we're reminded that God has a sense of humor. We absolutely miss Florida, miss family and miss friends. We can leave the heat, the traffic and the hustle and bustle of big cities. We absolutely love our church family, our partnership with Ron and Cinda and our school. We could live without the freezing cold, snow, ice, lack of a great mall and the fact that it takes at least 18 hours to get to Florida and 31 to get to Oregon. So it is an uneven balance that is consistently changing. When were in Florida or Oregon the scale tips towards wanting a life that includes the daily grind with our families. When were home the scale tips toward the fact that we are in the center of God's will for our lives and the sense of peace and joy we find here.
But no matter where we are, we always feel our families' and friends' love... so even on the coldest of nights we find warmth.

Today after hearing weather reports for your neck of the woods I was so thankful to be wearing shorts. Is that your backyard with your church behind the garage?
I so agree with your statement about the scale. We so miss home and our families but know that we are fulfilling our destiny in God here in Georgia. We hope and pray that the two will meet up again someday.
Yes that is out our upstairs bedroom window. It is a little hard to see, I will have to get a better picture when I have something nice to say about the weather.
Our prayer too is that we will be in the center of God's will and close to our family someday.
