New Blog Design.

I hope you like the new blog layout. Something very bright and cheery, something to remind us of the summer, as it slowly slips away. We are not ready for the winter!! There is no fall here. It just skips right past it from sunny 80 degree days, to cloudy, rainy and windy ones.

The days have already begun to get shorter. Our summer visitors have come and gone. The kids go back to school in just 2 weeks. The pool is closing until next year. New "fall" activities will be beginning soon. Holiday talk is already upon us. Where did the summer go? It flew by us. It has been a beautiful couple months, and we have felt truly blessed and fortunate to be here (especially as parts of the US heat up over 100 degrees). Although we will continue to be blessed and know this is where God wants us to be, we will have to dig a little deeper to find the beauty and happiness amongst the clouds. :)

Things to look forward to:

• at least 1 more month of sunny skies and warm weather
• our anniversary!
• Air Force Ball
• Brandon's birthday
• trip back to the states in September
• and then again in January with Brandon
• wearing my rainboots!
• cooking our first Thanksgiving turkey
• Christmas trees
• planning our cruise around Europe

So that is what is coming up in our lives. The winter may be brutal, but nothing we will not move past from. I will probably have a whole lot more time to write, due to the lack of being able to go outside. :)
