We came here...June 19th makes 5 years here for us. We came here the same way you did. All the doors at home, in that Ohio promised land were closing. Not just closing but slamming hard in our face! I have no doubt that God led us right here, to this town, to these people, to this time. I don't know if there is where he has planted us for the long haul, but eiher way, five years later I have grown, our family has grown! And I can't imagine being anywhere else. Welcome to the party, I'm glad you're here!Marci @Finding Joy in the Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058555009062113688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341672531825270056.post-51756286927858629752009-06-17T23:25:48.374-05:002009-06-17T23:25:48.374-05:00It'd be neat to do this every year!

Life and God bring good things when we are expecting good things to happen. We are all proud of the families that you and your brother are raising. And, no matter what the year brings, and personally I am glad not to know ahead of time, God and family and friends will help us get through it. God is good, all the time.
