Time Flies

Where have the last three months gone? In my last blog I prayed that the time Dave was away for 9 weeks would go by quickly. I am happy to say that it really did pass by in a flash because we both had lots going on during that time. I was so thankful that we chose to home school this year because we were able to take off and visit family while Dave was in Utah. Now, we are looking back on our last 15 months here and can't believe that it is coming to an end. It is officially over and we are heading back to Boise next week. This summer and our time here in Virginia have flown by in many ways. We feel so blessed to have had this time here. Now we are looking forward to being back home in Boise. We are driving across the country again this year. It was so fun last year and we were able to see friends and family along the way. We wish that we could just zig zag all over on our way back, but our time is limited. Our route takes us slightly more south/central, so unfortunately we won't be able to see our friends/family further north. We plan to head to Nashville first to see Dave's parents, grandpa and brother (and family). Next we head on to Jonesboro, Arkasas to see friends from BU days (The Fowlers). From Arkansas we will drive to Prior, OK to see The Bounds, some family friends of the Lauers. Then we will rally the troops for a long stretch from OK to Northern Colorado to see Alissa's family. From there...on to ID and our home in Boise. Well, that is a look ahead to the next couple of weeks (we plan to pull out of VA Thursday 8/7). In my next blog I will try to summarize our adventures over the last three months, if not in words, at least in pictures.
