An Eventful Week

It's Saturday evening, Taylor's celebrating her "Sweet 16" with her friends.  We have about 15 teenagers in our home.  Taylor has been blessed with lots of good kids for friends.  We cleaned house, put up the "Happy Birthday" banner we use for every family memeber's birthday, we made a variety of snack food and got a Oreo ice cream cake.  It's loud in the house but it'll be a fond memory.  It'll just be a short time before she will be in college and I'll reflect on celebrations like this fondly.

Tiffany left Raleigh Durham Airport bright and early this morning.  Clint came home (Leesville, LA) from his deployment and Tiffany is joining him to begin a new chapter in their married life.  Sarah and Ryan picked up Tiff at the airport.  Clint came in later in the day.  He had to go to the hospital to be checked out.  He got clearance to come home from the hospital in Germany.  I know they are happy to be together again.  I am happy for them!  I know Sarah is thrilled to finally have them near her.  I know their sisterhood will grow and grow.

Our plans for moving Tiffany to Lousianna are still the same.  The only difference is Tiffany will already be there.  Greg will be driving Clint's truck pulling a UHaul with their few remaining belongings that were still here in NC.  Melonie will be driving Tiff's car and transporting Saydee.  I can't wait to see where my two oldest daughters live. Half of our immediate family will be located 1700 miles away.  We are glad to still have Gregory and Danielle in NC!

Our eventful week causes me to realize how very blessed our family is.  Family is everything!
