Beautiful Mess!


Just like the song, our life is something of a beautiful mess! The first seven years have been a roller coaster ride, but they have been worth every minute. Beginning the next seven years, we are set to shove off again and move into an apartment. The plan never seems to work out the way we plan it. Is Heavenly Father trying to tell me something? I get it. He's in charge. Maybe he wants me to never forget that. Our place is a mess and we are supposed to be moving, next weekend. I have a final next Wednesday and Crystal has her finals the following week. Assuming I pass this semester, classes start again on Wednesday the 13th. This should be interesting. A work in progress often looks like a mess, but looking back it becomes beautiful to our eyes (most of the time anyway). That is the thing about creating a masterpiece. In the early stages, it doesn't look like much, but each piece put together makes something great. So, here we go again, down another road. I guess I have grown to love these adventures in a way. If seen with clear eyes, these adventures can only enlighten our minds, and shape our hearts. I think the kids are up for the change. They are getting used to it. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Only time will tell. I wish strength and a feeling of love for my beautiful wife. Hopefully I can be her rock, as she is mine. Well, let it all begin!

I dont think its Heavenly father testing you, but the adversary. He is trying to bring down the strongest of the herd. Stay strong, and hang in there. (Tonio)

I can say from experience in the past 11 yrs, 7 moves, 3 jobs and
1&1/2 deployments....it is worth hanging in there to get to the finish line! We have FINALLY found a WONDERFUL home and we are in a Great Place in our lives...but it wasn't easy getting here...and we aren't done yet!
