Wow, I’ve really got to do this more often! In my own defense, though, it’s a little hard when stuff is happening so fast you don’t have time before it’s old news and something else has happened already...
Well, first off...
My youngest and her hubby have decided to move back to Florida for a while to get themselves together before they try again. They’ve been struggling to make things work, and it just wasn’t happening for them, so they’ve decided to make a tactical retreat so they could come back stronger later. He got a great job offer in Sarasota, and they felt like they just couldn’t turn it down, so they moved back down weekend before last, with help from his father. Appears as though all is well so far, although I haven’t heard anything from them this past week, so I can only assume...(ahem).
On the same weekend they left, I took Ian, Krystal, Jes and Harmony down to see Alan for the weekend. It was the first time for Krystal and Harmony, and nothing could be sweeter looking than seeing Poppy holding that baby all day. Hopefully the first of many to come! A good time was had by all...
BUT...two days later, Ian had a wreck, and totalled his Jeep. So transportation wise, they’re all but back to square one. Fortunately, Krystal has a car, it’s just in the shop being repaired, so they’re not completely without resources. I can pinch-hit until it’s on the road. And the biggest blessing of all was that Ian walked away virtually without a scratch. If you saw the Jeep, you’d be amazed. By all rights, he should be either paralyzed or dead. It was a true miracle and a blessing from God. We are very, very thankful.
And last, but not least, I just got back from an incredible weekend of fun, friendship, and relaxation. But since there’s a lot to tell, I think I’ll tell it in a separate post tomorrow!
