Catching Up My Blog

I've finally finished up the posts from our trip to BYU-Idaho and they're now all published. They are, of course, recorded in reverse order; so if you want to read the account chronologically you'd need to start from the post at the bottom of this list:

• My Birthday: A Roller Coaster Ride. No, Really!
• The Long Drive Home...an Awesome Race
• Making the Break
• Chapman Hall #467, Rexburg, ID 83460
• Idaho or Bust!
• Emilie's Departure

...and read up.

Note: We're still receiving comments from our neighbors about the fabulous TP and Post-it Note tribute Emilie received the morning we left. Pictures are posted in Idaho or Bust!

A most sincere thanks to all who have helped so much to take the sting out of this transition. I feel blessed and awed that this monumental event of sending our one and only off to college has felt more like an adventure than a loss. Along with the hugs, inquiries, empathy, and compassion of my dear, dear friends who have accepted the inspiration to extend their amity, the Lord has provided many serendipitous distractions. All of this has truly encouraged and steadied me, so much so that I can only feel joy...pure, deep, unabridged joy. My cup runneth over.
