We've received word that Dad should be home a month earlier than we first expected, somewhere around the first of February.
We are looking forward to our time of reunion after such a long time of seperation, but there certainly wont be an excessive amount of vacationing, why? well...

The Army has decided that 6 years in Washington is long enough, so as of March 2008, we will be on our way to another interesting and exciting family adventure....
Packing up, Moving, Saying Farewell to all our Washington friends and driving 3,000 miles from the West Coast of Washington, to the East Coast of Aberdeen, Maryland.

Our travels will take us through Spokane Wa, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and finally the Army Post of Aberdeen Proving Ground MD.
But thats not all!
After 2 years in Maryland: Finding a house, church, piano teacher, symphony etc.
we will be packing up again and moving down to the lovely state of Virginia, for a few years,
and after that?
who knows!
We are looking forward to the coming year and seeing what stories we'll have to tell by the end of it.:)
(be sure to stay tuned!)

    Blessings to you and your family!

    I read that y'all were moving on Stephen's blog. Will your dad be able to stay and help out? Or will they be shipping him off again?

    So, your list of states to pass through said Illinois...does that mean y'all can stop by and see us for a few days? We'd LOVE to have you...

    Give your family my love. Love ya!

    Melissa:
    I think we'll be needing to have quite a few "parties" before we leave... work parties:)

    Sarah:
    I enjoyed reading yours as well, and thank you for the encouragement.
    Even though changes can be hard we are excited about the new adventures we will get to experience:)

    Tiffany:
    Dad will be staying with us from February till we leave in March, so we will all be driving together.
    And of course we'll have to come see y'all! thanks for the invite:)
    Love to y'all

    Annonymous(Rebekah I assume?)

    Yay...I guess I'm one of the only ones who is excited that you're moving to Aberdeen. Kind of weird you'll be easier to come visit in Maryland than Washington even though you're really only a 4 hour flight away right now! Oh and we were so sad to hear about Michael Billings.

    Cassie, no joke about it!
    Sorry to sound so unremorseful but hey, someone needs to make the best of it!
    we will miss y'all though:)

    Esther,
    It'll be fun to see y'all in the summers.
    I was very shocked when Daniel told me about Michael, it's amazing how quickly things like that can happen!
    Daniel just talked to him last week.

    Personally, I'm surprised that there are any tears at all, as I will be one of the leaving party...

    We're glad that Stephen is leaving of course, but the rest of you?! ;-) :Sigh:

    I don't think that our tears will be for you Stephen..maybe tears of joy (teasing).. I think the tears will be for your cute little brothers (Isaac and Kenny) and definitely for Cilla and Jacqueline and the Gigis and Josephine and you Mom and Dad !!

    So you can go plan you pitty party !

    Hi Jacqueline! I was just reading through all your comments and noticed that you thought the "anonymous" one was from me. :) Well, I guess you're going to have to keep working at the mystery because it wasn't! :D Hope you're doing well!

    Rebekah:
    My deepest appologies for fasley accusing you,
    good thing I'm not a detective or other kind of law official!

    Annonymous:
    Is that you Miss Lightning?

    Jaime:
    we'll miss y'all but you'll just have to come and visit us.

    Sorry to hear that Stephen will be leaving such an entourage of faithful friends:)
