Hello from the States...

So we are no longer in Germany but have moved to the good ole USofA. It's been a long hard road so far. I miss my friends from Germany terribly but a new adventure or "chapter" (as DH calls it)has arrived. I know I was really apprehensive coming to Ft Hood when we moved there in 2000. But it was a great time and I found a good church and grew considerably in Christ. Now here I find myself in the same boat, excited and scared and lonely all at the same time. My friends and I write in an email group so it's nice to be able to "talk" once in awhile.

As far as knitting, I have made like 3 pair of booties and 2 1/2 hats for 3 little girls that have been or will be born this year. I am excited to go to a LYS and see all the selection. So if you walk in one day looking for a skein or 2 and find a woman standing there in the isle, staring with eyes open wide and drewl floating then it's probably me (smile).

OH! Exciting thing, we are in the process of buying our first house!! SCARY! I can't believe we are taking on something so much bigger than we have ever had before. It's exciting to think that it will be OURS (well after we pay the bank off in 30 yrs). and nerve wracking too to think of all that debt. But we have prayed through the entire process and I know God is behind us.

It has been nice to see all the family but we are ready to move into our new home. Living out of suitcases can be tiresome! Well, here I am complaining away sheesh. Sorry I am not a whiner really! LOL You know how it is though....there's no place like home and if you don't have a home it kinda sux.

Hello to all my buds out there I miss you somethin awful and can't wait to knit/crochet together again. I will post some pix of our adventure as soon as I can.
