Wonderful news on a silly day...

    What did YOU get for Valentine's day this year? Though I have mixed feelings about the holiday, and I recognize that my incredible husband is good to me every day... this year, this is what he (and the Army, sort-of) gave me/us:


         (The right side is our new house!)



However, EVEN better than that...
      
    Best. Valentine. Ever. 

 "For God so loVed the world 
               so thAt He gave 
His one and onL
                     bEgotten 
                   SoN 
            That whosoever believes 
            In Him should 
            Not perish but have 
            Everlasting life."    John 3:16. 

 God is love!  Sending you extra love and hugs this week. May your days be filled with sharing God's love daily. Know that you are dearly loved.

WHERE to start?

Well, hello there again!
  Guess it's been a while since I last posted... and there have been tons of notes and pictures to post...
   Since I last wrote you here (mid November, perhaps; like over 2 months ago, oops) - My parents visited Hawaii; I finished up my job teaching first graders and said my goodbyes; Eric and I had moving day (first one was for most of our household goods, December 21st!); we bid farewell to Hawaii and friends along with Christmas and New Years; I kept on crafting (of course) and hosted my OWN craft show in December, one of the most successful ones yet; Eric finished up his work there; Eric completed his course for Dive Master in scuba diving; we FINALLY got to take that helicopter tour of the island; and we officially moved from Hawaii, by way of some leave time with family and friends in Indiana, to Kentucky; we went to St. Louis to pick up Eric's old car and we also decided to buy our first new car together; we went up in the Gateway Arch in St. Louis; we spent more time with Eric's sister in Indy; we explored our new "home" area a bit together, while held up in a hotel together for 2-3 weeks, and counting...
  Whew. Just that list makes me tired.
  Yup, there is a bit on which to catch up, huh? Of course, today I came to Starbucks to use their free wifi (which our hotel advertises, but doesn't actually have available), but apparently didn't bring the right cord for my camera.... so I will post pictures later.
  Just dropping a quick note to say HI again and let you know that you have not been forgotten, just slightly neglected for a bit. More posts to follow, soon, I hope.
