Majesty of His Creation

Yesterday I had the opportunity to witness one of those moments when you know who is really in charge of our world. My camera didn't come close to capturing what the dozen or more people saw while looking into the heavens. In that single moment I felt and saw so clearly the power of our Creator and I was grateful to know that He's in command. 

I think of the times that our family has felt as if we were standing right in the middle of those treacherous clouds and left wondering how we could possibly survive. Yet, somehow, we do weather the storm. 

I'm so glad that the Lord continues to be the umbrella that shields us when the rain begins to fall!

Much love, Vicki

New Home

Well, things have finally stablized with the move to our new home. We are now, for the very first time in our lives...apartment dwellers! In almost 39 years of married life we've never lived with common walls to other people. Even our condo in La Verne had separate walls. However, the good news is that it costs us nothing! We did opt for a two bedroom to house guests who make their way to see us. Sara and Matt will be here in April with the boys and I'm excited to show them around.
We've been waiting for almost a month to make this move and when it finally became a reality I realized that I'd be leaving my new friends from the Arlington 2nd Ward and my hotel friends at the Marriott. Also, I realized that our stuff, limited as it seemed, would have to make it's way to the third floor! So I did the most practical thing I could think of to save my husbands back...I hired movers! It was worth every penny (dollar) to do it! I've decided that when the time comes I will hire movers to load our stuff into our trailer. As Sara reminds me, I'm stimulating the economy by giving someone work! Glad to give Obama a hand! As soon as I figure out the address we'll be using I post it here and via e-mail. Hope all is well with each of you and I look forward to hearing from you. Much love, Vicki
