A Month Without My Hubby or Marky-man

We have had three birthdays and Resurrection Day without Michael or Mark. They do hope to be here soon. We hope, too.

Sometimes I long for something familiar -- anything at all. I haven't longed for California, per se, but I lived there for a long time so that is where my mind goes when I think about familiar things. Don't want to go back, no no no. Would love to see friends, though.

I look out my window toward the north and wonder if it will ever look familiar to me. It will, of course, but when?

Sometimes I think I will never adjust to life here, then sometimes I am just so thankful to be here. It's a process, this moving thing. It's beautiful in many ways and I love the people. We are always commenting on just how doggone friendly people are. They do like to move on the streets, though. If you know where you are going, it's a great place to drive, but if you don't, well, people can tell. I have learned a lot about the area simply by acting on the thought, "Where am I?" That means that I make a lot of wrong turns and then it turns into a wonderful learning experience for us all!

We have all the shopping we could ever want, and more. There is no shortage of places to buy stuff. I do sorely miss Mother's Market, though. That was the hardest place to give up. I now have to shop a few different places to get all my beloved healthy stuff. Don't have to drive far, but still have to shop more.

Jordan is almost five months old and growing like a weed. I'm afraid I will have to start giving him solids if I can't get my milk supply in better shape. Please pray for us in that regard. We all know that when solids start, breastfeeding starts to stop. You have to be smart to catch that last sentence.

I am at the library's computer lab writing this. We need a wireless adapter to set up our computer at home. I am not in a hurry to do so, which is a surprise to all of you, I am sure. The computer is a necessary evil, in my opinion, and I am not eager to have it re-enter the house.

Well, I better run. When we get the internet all connected I will bombard y'all with lots of photos and stories and get you all caught up with our adventures in Texas.

The ladybugs here are very cute, by the way. Bigger, of course, and multicolored. Diverse, you might say.

Love to all and thanks for you prayers!
