Having lived the majority of my life in Arizona, I've missed out on experiencing the different seasons and abundant foliage that exist in other parts of the country. I have absolutely loved seeing the seasons change here and how gorgeous a place can be. I am constantly in awe and commenting how pretty it is here. We arrived in Alabama just in time to see spring in its full splendor, the pink dogwood being my favorite tree in bloom. Summer was equally beautiful and I loved the lush greenness that is everywhere. I was hoping we'd get to see the fall colors before we moved and it has arrived in all its glory. The colors of all the trees are breathtaking, from golden yellow to fire red. I've loved going outside and feeling air that is cool and crisp. I had forgotten how much fun having seasons is and I had no idea how much I love it.
We head out of Alabama in less than two weeks and this is the home that awaits us. Danny went on a house-hunting trip a couple of weeks ago and he says this would be a great fit for us. We just got word today that the homeowner has approved us to be their renters. We've been praying that the Lord would help us get it, and, as always, He has answered our prayers. We're so relieved and pleased. What I'm most excited about? Having a backyard, a real backyard with a fence and grass. In Tucson we had weeds and dirt and lots of big spiders. I think I only stepped foot out there twice. The kids, probably never. In Alabama we've had no fence. The kids have gone out just a handful of times. I can't wait to have a regular, kid-friendly yard.
