Well, we finally got the news...WE'RE GOING HOME!!! Cory called me on Monday to tell me the good news. He got a position as an Admiral's aide in Newport!! We are scheduled to arrive in late September. We are all very excited and cannot wait to get there!
As I was putting Sam to bed tonight he looked at me and said, "Mommy, I love you SO much. I'm going to miss you". I asked him why he was going to miss me and he said, "because you are moving to Rhode Island". I explained to him that he was moving with me and daddy and Micah and he said, "but this is our home". I said that indeed, "this is our home at the moment but daddy's job moves us all over the place...we've had lots of friends that have moved all over the country...that's part of what daddy does". He looked at me in all seriousness and said, "I don't want to move all over the place...there's lots of poop in the road". Now, I'm not exactly sure what he was getting at there... I did have to agree that things can get "poopy" at times, but I really tried to make him see that this was a great thing for our family.
Thank you to all of you who prayed for us. We are looking forward to a quiet few years surrounded by friends and family!
