The Time Has Come

Many people have asked me lately . . . and, yes, we are still in Boise. We just moved a little ways away from our other location. We are just renting a home for now . . . until we see what the future holds. My parents will be returning from their mission (tomorrow!) and they will be living with us for the foreseeable future. It is not out of desperation on either side, but a mutual agreement we made awhile ago. Are we nuts? Maybe. But we like nuts here. (Just not cashews, Daniel is allergic.) 

 I recall writing a post about all the things we had placed before us, just a few months ago. I was worried about how to make everything happen. (Refinancing our little house, renting it out, finding a house big enough for all of us, giving birth to a baby who needed surgery, finding a car, Charles changing business location, etc., etc. (There are lots of details in the etc.) Anyway, God works in miraculous ways . . . so many little pieces have fallen into place, and I have seen miracles happen. I don't believe we are being blessed for our sakes, but for my good parents -- who have served so faithfully. We are just the recipients by default, because they will be living with us. But I will take what blessings we can get! It has truly been a wonder to behold, how things "work out". 

I cannot wait for my parents to get here. I love them both so much. They are my best friends, next to Charles and my own kids. I still have so much knowledge to gain from my mother . . . now I get to have her by my side to learn it! And Charles loves my dad. Though my dad did not approve of Charles in the beginning -- I think my dad has come full-circle in his opinion of him now. :-) Charles and my dad are buddies. And funny enough, I think they were cut from the same cloth, when it comes down to it. (I married someone like my dad? Weird?!) And the grandkids, well, they are FREAKING OUT, they are SO EXCITED!! 

Some people may think we are crazy for having my parents live with us -- but if you know my parents, you know we are just plain lucky!
