Ahhh.. The sounds of 2 sleeping beauties, tucked into bed with me, is wonderful. This mama is tired!  It has been a busy, busy week, as Scott has been in Denver working. We have bought, washed, and packed for Maggie’s very 1st church preteen camp, and she will be off tomorrow having such a great time. Samuel has had therapy all week, but he has come home each day with smiles and wanting to play. Then, there are the norms, like feeding these growing kids! Breakfast, lunch, and supper, Oh My! And, my dreadful stye inside my lower lid had to be surgically fixed. Ouch!

It has also been an emotional week, as my Daddy and Mama had to say goodbye to their sweet 15 year old Dabney dog. She is resting easy, now, and she lived a wonderful life. But, it is hard to lose a family member.     Dabney-with my Dad, Avery, and   Mag. 

AND.. Friday evening Scott came in from work, and announces that his company is moving us to Denver for the next 7 months. Whoa! I cannot take it all in. Where will we live? What about Samuel’s therapy? Will insurance cross over? How will Maggie cope? What about our house? And the list goes on. 
I had to get busy in a hurry! We have found a good medical facility for Samuel, that Scott toured today. They believe his insurance for ABA therapy will be covered, and everyone was really friendly. Keeping my prayers said and my fingers crossed!   Maggie is going to do a computer-based homeschool program until we return to Katy, and she is super excited to go back to Colorado. She loves it there. We found an apartment tonight and put down the deposits. I have called every doctor for each child to make sure they get in to see them before we leave. I am concerned about Sam’s eye appointment at the end of this month, as well as, his immunology appointment. We will see what the doctors recommend and make those things a priorty before we leave and when we arrive. 

Our move in date is September 1st, and we have a ton of things left to do, but Lord willing, we’ll get it all situated, packed, and arrive safely. 

 Our home for the next few months. 

I have not had long to digest the news, but I am so excited for Scott. It will be the 1st time in 14 years that he will not have an hour and a half bumper-to-bumper commute. And, Sam’s potential school is super close, too. It is going to be so nice eating dinner earlier as a family and having more time together. Maggie is most excited for snow and snow tubing and snow boarding and snow EVERYTHING! I told her she might get tired of it. She refuses to even entertain those thoughts. 
  
I read this verse from my devotional yesterday. Very fitting. Thank you, God for reminding to have faith and to abide in You! 
So, lots of changes for my family in these weeks ahead. Change can be so good and gratifying, but it is terrying at times, too. Letting go when someone we love exits our lives is such hard change. Leaving friends and family is sad, too. But, following HIS path is rewarding and right. And, I am trusting in Him. 

Prayers are so appreciated as we make this transition. We covet them.
