Safely Home!

Hello All! Thought I would drop in with a quick post and let you know we made it. I am sure you have figured out by now that we are here since we have been here right at a week now. Really? A week? Wow! I can't believe it. So much has happened since we have been here, but most of it is not the best blog material hanging out there for the world to read. I will have to shoot you an email, which will probably be another day or two in the making. Just a sneak peak on the info, it does include 2 trips to the ER...back to back nights. Fun stuff!

Our heads are spinning and our children still aren't quite sure what is going on. Poor John Reagan doesn't know where home is anymore. He keeps telling everyone he is going to have a new house. The problem with that is, we don't have a clue when that might be. We haven't had the time to spend even a minute working towards that goal.

I don't know about Greg, but I will speak for myself. I very much miss Murfreesboro and all of you very dear friends. When we hit Vicksburg the other night, I felt such a weight of depression come over me, and it only increased as we crossed the Louisiana state line. Reality had hit. Let me tell you, after 11 hours of driving at that point, I could have turned that vehicle around and headed right back to Murfreesboro without a second thought. I would have only made it to Jackson or Meridian before I would have had to stop and rest but just having my vehicle turned in the direction of Tennessee would have been enough for me.

I am better now. It is clear after our first week here that we are very much in the will of God and are needed here.

As far as our trip, 13 hours. Yes, you read that right...13 hours. We had to get a Uhaul trailer along with the van thanks to the many things we have. Our 9 hour trip turned into 13 because we couldn't drive over 60 miles an hour thanks to the Uhaul. Long story! Long drive! We survived and arrived at 3:30 a.m. Of course the kiddos slept a good bit of the way, so they were ready to play. You can imagine how mommy and daddy felt about that.

Be on the look-out for your informative email, and we will be seeing you all soon. We will let you know when we plan our first trip up there. We love you all and miss you very much.
