COMING HOME





Well, this may very well be my last blog before we move as Tom is about to do something with our hard drive in preparation for our move. Just yesterday Tom reminded me that in a little over a month we will be on our way home! We pack out of this house April 21st and will live on "boonie" furniture supplied by the Navy until May 7th. At that point we head to a hotel for two nights before we fly out the morning of the 9th. We'll spend a brief few days in Massachusetts before we head to NY to visit with Tom's family. On the 16th Tom will head back to Guam until he returns for good at the end of June. We are planning on renting a house in Portsmouth, RI starting in July. My mind is spinning as I start packing and come to the reality that, though I am so excited to be coming home, I have to say goodbye to my family here. It is going to be very difficult.

As many of you know, my cousin John Austin was in a very serious car accident a few weeks ago. His recovery has been slow but God is good. He is responding more to his loved ones daily and it is so encouraging. He is moving to a specialized rehab center in PA where he will continue to heal. Please continue to keep him and his family in your prayers as the road ahead is long and there are so many unknowns at this point.

Well, I'd like to post a few pictures from the last month. Enjoy. I look forward to seeing many of you soon!!!!!
