Wow.. it's been a little while I would say. I'm back or well should I say we are back. This blog is changing 100% as has our live's since becoming empty nesters. My blog now will be a journal of our travels. It's for our family to experience where we are, where we are going and were we have been.
You might have noticed the black bear at the top, that's A-bear. For those that are Cajun you know we are referencing Hebert. It's a salute to my grandparents who also loved camping and traveling. We bought the bear in Tennessee last year and he has become our mascot of sorts traveling everywhere with us. He will make an appearance at each place we stay and he will be holding whatever I collect on that trip.
Last year around the same time that we bought A-bear I started collecting a rock from each place we visited. I label the rock with the date and location and it goes into my "Places" jar that we keep at home.
Ty and I have camped for over 39 years. We have camped in our tents, pop-up's, & travel trailers and we have traveled all over these United States. We have loved this season of our live's and are eagerly awaiting Ty's retirement in just under 3 years.
Then we will be moving north.
If you scroll down to the very first post on this page and read the very last sentence you will see that God gave us that word back in 2010 "Look to the north." It would be over 2 years before we understood exactly what that meant. God was literal that year.. And He was spot on, we just didn't know it.
So... we will use this journal also as we prepare to say good-bye to our one and only house, the house our children were raised in. Goodbye to the only hometown Ty and I have ever known.
BUT.. we will also journal as we say hello to a brand new life.
A New Season.. A Next Season.. A Best Season..
I remember when you got that word.....Selfishly I had hoped "Look to the North" was going to bring you closer to the mason Dixon line ;) I trust Gods plan..... always. I pray that no mater where you are headed in this next season and the rest of your seasons . God will continue to bless us with the gift of our friendship.
ReplyDeleteForever and ever Amen. I just was telling Ty last night about if the men go first, it will be me and you til' the end! :) Love you!
DeleteThe last paragraph made me tear up. Even though moving "north" means to me, it will still be difficult letting go of our home with you. With that said I am so excited for the next few years for y'all. Enjoy and embrace it all. Love you!
