We're Comin' Home


Well, folks, we found out we're comin' back home to Stillwater, Oklahoma in July 2007. Brent will begin his 3-year residency in July, and hopefully we will find a home to settle down in! I don't know who is more excited - the dogs or us. Okay, okay - I doubt they remember the red dirt of Oklahoma, but who knows. I'm not sure how long a dog's short-term or long-term memory lasts anyway. In all seriousness, we will dearly miss the friends we've made and the church we have come to love in Illinois, but we are excited for this new chapter in our life. And at least the switch back to a slightly different shade of orange won't be too difficult to make. Go POKES!!!
It will be awesome for Brent to get back to some hunting, since he had to leave this hobby behind when we came to Illinois. I'm sure he can't wait to start shooting at things the moment we get back!
And I am excited to play racquetball!! Why does this town only have 3 courts? They are impossible to get into, so my playing has probably grown rusty. I will have a lot of time to relearn, so no worries.
One final note: my dream of owning horses might come true even earlier than I thought. Can you hear me, God? Please help us find a place with some land and a Lacey-girl to find some horses for us! I'll keep you posted. . .
