Just a quick update.
Hi! So, many of you are saying, "hey, what's up with you guys since you moved?" And, since I am too efficient, aka lazy, I am just going to write a quick update here.
Casey- his job is awesome! Here's a link if you wanna check out who he's working for- dixonwater.org Casey is managing a Dixon Water Foundation ranch in Marfa, Tx. He is working hard and learning so much about holistic/sustainable land management. He's horseback a few days a week...happy days for him.
Josiah and Levi- continue to crack me up every day! Joe has some serious imaginary friends- Jack, Simeon, Eek, and Pop, oh yah, and Treebird. Don't know where he came up with their names. Apparently, Jack's house burned down so he's now living in our old house in Sulphur. These are the kinds of stories he tells me everyday. And Levi just kinda goes along with it for Joe's sake, but when I ask him if he knows Joe's friends he just says they're just pretending, which is something Joe would never admit to. They like it here, although they ask to go to our old house a lot. We had a nice fenced in yard there, something we don't have here yet, so I'm pretty sure that's what they want to return to. They do love this house though , it's big and has lots of room to run and play and hide. We are continuing with Sonlight another year, homeschooling. The boys love it and so do I, so, we'll just keep it going. Joe does miss playing with other kids though, hopefully we can find a homeschool group to join. I've heard there are some around.
Me-well, honestly, it doesn't feel like life has changed much for me. I'm a stay at home mom, so, yah, my surroundings have changed but my day to day hasn't. I love this house, it's an old adobe house that was added on to and remodeled. We really didn't expect to move into something this nice so that was an added blessing. I'm still not used to living in town, neighbors all around, but once we get a fence built it will be easier. Not having a Walmart isn't that bad, the grocery store in Alpine, about 30 minutes, is nice. I guess the hardest part about moving is that we don't have a church. We have visited several, pretty much all that we know of to visit within driving/getting involved distance. Not sure what the plan is now... I wish we could find somewhere with other kids.
So, guess that's the basics. So far so good in Marfa. Please come visit us! I'll get some pictures out soon.
