This year we were fortunate enough to be able to purchase a new home for our family (Thank you honey). We didn't move far, but to a much larger home where there are more children to play with and more room for us & company. Every once in a while I get choked up thinking about how much I have been blessed with. This last week I took Redden grocery shopping and drove the back roads to a store I don't usually go to for a change. As we were driving we passed an RV Park. But not the kind that people come and go for the weekend. It's right off the road and it was packed - not a single place left. Full of RV's,cars, clotheslines, grills, etc. Where you can tell people live. Not that there's anything wrong with this because atleast they have a roof over their heads but I couldn't stop thinking about how lucky I am to have the life that I do. Tears welled in my eyes as Redden told me he was thankful to have a home. When we got back home he told Rich thank you for working hard so we can have a real house. It doesn't happen very often that kids realize what they have but I hope that this lesson is something I can help my kids remember their whole lives. I thank my lucky starts that I found and married a man who would give his limbs to support his family. Love you babe. I haven't taken any pictures of our home with our stuff in it yet, but here are a few pictures for those of you who have never been here but with the other peoples' stuff.

I am so excited to see your new house. It looks really light and has lots of windows. You need that in Oregon.
