Today is the day. We will be leaving tonight to make the four hours drive to Ft. Lauderdale. We are on our way to visit our family. It is a special time because my parents just bought a house and I am so happy for them. It's been a very long journey for them. I'm happy that they are at this place in their lives. God has truly blessed them and provided them with this opportunity. This is not their first home or anything like that. However, several years back they were in a very tough financial situation after my Dad lost his job. They were at the point where they had no choice but to sell their home and move away from Ft. Lauderdale so that my Dad could take a job in Hernando county. While we enjoyed having them only 30 minutes away, they returned to Ft. Lauderdale nearly 3 years ago. We've missed them but we are very proud of this accomplishment. They finally have a home again after about 5 years of many moves. God is truly faithful. So, we will be there this weekend celebrating with them and also helping with the move to the new house. It is truly an awesome time!
It will also be nice to see several of our friends and family. All our families (from both sides) reside in Ft.Lauderdale. In many ways, Ft.lauderdale still feels like our home. We love Tampa but it's hard not having our family closer. It's very difficult to see everyone when we go but we do the best we can. The drive is the worst part of our trip because we have 2 young children that doesn't understand why it takes so long to get to their grandparents house. However, it's always nice when we get there. We are definitely looking forward to the trip. I probably won't get a chance to blog so have a wonderful weekend!
