Summer is over!

Well...summer vacation is over. For this little Harder family. We are beginning our trek back to Wyoming! Ryan is taking off in the morning, with the tundra PACKED, pulling a Uhaul and the boys and I will be following in a couple of days with a loaded outback.

Ahhhhhhh. The joys of moving again, and again, and again.

This time! We are moving to Cody! We found an affordable little house with a fenced in back yard! We are ridiculously excited. Unfortunately this means that Ryan will be commuting....fortunately this means we will be living in a town with a hospital (a normal sized hospital with an ER), grocery shopping options! Crazy, I know. A pediatrician IN town! A pool (you have no idea how excited I am about this), our church! We are super excited to have the opportunity to be involved in the community with our church. AND!!!! We will only be an hour away from the east gate of Yellowstone. ONE HOUR ladies and gentlemen.

I feel like this summer went by really fast, I still haven't made it to the beach! Dang it. Maybe this fall....or winter...or next summer? Between working, running around visiting friends, getting used to being mommy of three and still maintaining my status as super wife ;) this summer has simply flown by. It's been wonderful to be around family but I am looking forward to returning to Wyoming. I feel at home there. I am so unbelievably blessed to be able to live there, Ryan teaching over there allows me to be a stay at home mom! I'm so thankful for that. It is such a gift to be able to be home with the boys and take care of my little family. It is such a huge sense of accomplishment to be able to put a meal down in front of all my men. I understand the joy that my mom felt while we were growing up...and the frustration at times.

While we are so very excited to get over to Wyoming, it sucks to leave those we love behind. Having such a short time back at "home" makes it a lot easier to really invest our time with those we love and are supportive of us during our ups and downs. The last five...six years have really shown those people that we can count on and look to for support, advice and prayers. We are so thankful for those people in our lives.

So much love and prayer for you all.

Last post?? A couple of posts ago?? I left a verse Exodus 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent." I don't know why it took me so long to keep reading...because what follows is perfection. Verse 15 The Lord said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward."

So. Here's to walking forward with the Lord. Into what is unknown to me but on a path that He has made straight. (Proverbs 3:6).
