One Month From Yesterday

One month form yesterday we leave for California. I was in the kitchen yesterday afternoon and Abby came in and said "Mom,it's the 18th". I didn't get it at first...then it dawned on me, 18th of May, we leave 18th of June. I didn't realize she was keeping close track. Both kids haven't talked much lately about moving. They've talked a little bit about California and they are really interested when Paul and I have been looking at houses online. They've also been VERY busy with activities and life, so I wasn't so sure it's even been on their minds. Apparantly, it has been. They have matured alot, while they are sad to leave, they both do seem genuinely excited to move. Abby calls it the adventure! Jacob is ready for it to happen so we can get settled. Then he gets driver's training and may be allowed to get a part time job. He is very much looking forward to those two things. I mentioned we've been busy. Co-op is done. We had our last parent meeting for the year on Thursday evening. The whole family was invited to view displays of what the classes have been doing. Also, the drama class presented the play they have been working on. Abby was a part of the drama. She played Odysseus. It was a comical/satire of the Trojan War. Pretty funny and all the kids did a wonderful job! Yesterday, I got up and went to another homeschool mom's home with about 10 other families. Had a multi family curriculum/yard sale. I priced to sell and did quite well, selling most everything! Last night Abby had a pizza and game night with her Friends(Girls Ministries) class for winning "Penny Wars". So Jacob and I dropped her off and went and had dinner together. Paul is away this weekend for Drill. Today, we have a wedding to attend. We know Jenny from church. I think she had attended way before we moved here. She had moved away in high school and moved back this year. She helped out with the Teen Bible Quiz and that is how we got to know her. She is marrying her fiance, Josh today. He is a new Marine. It's been fun to talk with her and watch as she has planned her wedding and getting ready to be a military wife. Brought back lots of memories for me as I became a military wife when I married Paul(almost 19 years ago!). Tomorrow will be church. It's our last Sunday School day. Sunday school takes a break from Memorial day through Labor day. In our marriage class we've been talking about the "Resolution" from the movie "Courageous". It's been really good! Tomorrow morning in Sunday School quite a few families will be signing their own "Resolution". Quite awesome if you ask me! We don't get to participate and I'm quite sad about that. Paul has to work, they are out in the training areas all weekend and he can't even make it in for just an hour or two. :( But we already have committed long ago to may of the points of the Resolution and have lived by it for many, many years. The ceremony and signing would have just been a physical memory of it. Well, I should go start getting the kids moving for the day! Be Blessed!
