Things don't always go as planned do they? We just thought our travel nursing days had run their course. WRONG! We lasted about 8 months in Htown. Ummm, I'm still processing everything that went down, but it was all wrong from the get go. Seriously, though...we are getting too old to learn from our mistakes. The only joy we had was eating kolaches, texmex food and reconnecting with family and a few close friends. Otherwise, we dealt with near disasters almost daily. Our travel journey continues as we have safely landed back in our beloved Nevada. We have no long term plans and only a short contract as of today. However we have peace with our decisions and hope for the future. Life is good again my friends and we look forward to many more adventures!

Going Home
Our time here in Winnemucca Nevada has come to an end...
Steve's assignment is over for now and we are looking forward to a new adventure in Texas.
We really don't know for sure what the future holds...
But we know who holds the future so that's good enough.
It has to be.
We have trusted God this far... so we will continue on further to see what lies around the corner.
Friends... it's been an amazing 2 1/2 years of traveling.
We are headed home.

Bittersweet Goodbye to Nevada
We say goodbye to so many friends...
(These are sweet gifts from our homeschool friends!)
and yet super excited about the future...and our new home in Texas.
It's truly bittersweet this time.
We love Nevada...
So wild and free...
so open...
the valleys...
We had so much snow today that a snowplow was brought in to clear the parking lot!
and Hello to Texas again...

Christmas in Nevada
We had a simple Christmas Eve celebration...
It snowed most of Christmas Eve...
So all the more reason to stay in our warm and cozy apartment
enjoying all the mail and gifts we received.
We really missed our big kids and grand kids this year,
but we have a big surprise for them...

Each snowflake so unique...
I can almost see whoville in there, lol
perched up here in my lovely warm apartment.
There have been multiple days of this icy cold weather...
Amazing...
We even spotted some coyote tracks...

What a ton of work...
This was such a labor of love for one of our committed homeschool mom, Jackie.
She invested so much time and energy into planning, designing the float,
prepping all the decorations, organizing the kids... I could go on and on...

It was pretty shaky towards the end but it all came together!
And it was fantastic!
The theme was Candyland Christmas!

I wish I could post them all...
Finally there they are!
There's Spencer walking with the homeschool sign!
So proud of these kids...
The younger kids rode on the float while the big kids walked it...
Did I forget to mention that it was really cold?
but everyone was bundled up...
and seemed to enjoy the evening!
I never imagined we would be in a parade in Nevada, lol
Thank you Winnemucca...
What a wonderful memory this will be someday...
