Dad is Here!

My dad arrived in Texas on Tuesday! After years of consideration and then well over a year of preparation, he's finally here! The house in Washington has been turned over to an agency that will find and manage tenants, and dad will get a check every month. He has already purchased a house in Mt. Pleasant which currently has a renter in it. He will be staying here at Ryan and Susan's with us until the end of March, and then moving into his new home. I should be off to boot camp by that time. Until then we are one big happy family!

It's so easy to lose touch with those you love, and although living under the same roof can seem too close for comfort at times, the good far outweighs the bad. I cherish this time with my family and it will remain a special time that I will look back on fondly. Especially being here while Taylor and Lexi are growing up, you just can't replace time spent with a child; they grow up so fast!

Also, I have to say that everything's been really great! We are getting along so well and knowing that the time is short, are taking advantage of it by really appreciating one another, treasuring the time we have.

  1. Take as much time as you can with family before you leave, that time is most precious. You wont have much of that anymore with you becoming an officer.
