Waiting to Go Home

Michaela went to New York with her grandma today.  We never arranged a good way for her to get home, though, since I was leaving for home the day before their trip.  In the end, we switched our tickets from Orlando to Dallas to next Sunday, extending our stay here for five days.  I will meet her at the airport when they arrive, and then we will head back to Dallas.  It will be a long day for her, but it seemed the best way to get her home.  She didn't want to fly by herself.

So, Christian, Eliana, and I will be hanging out with Wendy and the kids (and Bobby a bit, as well as Mr. Bob) for a few days.  I am so grateful to have in-laws who don't mind having us around. 

This also gives Mike a lot more time to get stuff over to the new house without having to worry about us.  When we arrive he'll have everything in the house, and put away!

Not really, but he could have a lot done, and possibly have a lot organized in a way that we were not able to do in our previous moves. 

I am rambling.  I am trying to find things to be joyful about.  I know they are there...making my heart appreciate them is quite a task.  I wonder if I wake up and think right away,"What can I be grateful for right now, and how can I find joy in this day?" if that would help?  Maybe I will try that tomorrow.
