He kept it light and we had such a great time together. She and I are gradually getting to that point we need to be at. Thank you guys for being faithful to pray for us. Within a couple of weeks I'll be nesting into our new place with stories of bluebirds building their nests in our little bird houses.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697132925192848110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-48699110502615024412010-03-25T14:11:21.940-04:002010-03-25T14:11:21.940-04:00Simply put....the best and the worst of times.Simply put....the best and the worst of times.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-46495942889239806262010-03-25T09:47:28.667-04:002010-03-25T09:47:28.667-04:00Moving IS hard.

I miss my boys like crazy, even though I know for sure we did the right thing and they are fine. <br /><br />But I still can't wait to go see them soon. <br /><br />I'll be praying for you on many levels. Goodbyes, settling, traveling, finding that church to make home, keeping up with the new life of retirement, enjoying your hubby, hosting the "other grandkids" and everything in between. <br /><br />God is so good to give us just enough variation in life to keep us on our knees :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140530325649071135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-20979355428447333102010-03-25T07:17:46.639-04:002010-03-25T07:17:46.639-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023662613621208356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-70384086134555139392010-03-25T07:17:44.453-04:002010-03-25T07:17:44.453-04:00Oh Bev, you have been on my mind so much this past...Oh Bev, you have been on my mind so much this past week. I'll be praying for you, I know you're juggling such a mixture of emotions... you're bound to be laughing one minute and tearing up the next.<br /><br />Hope these next few days are full of lots of happy memories and the move goes smoothly.

In a week, you'll do a full exchange. Anytime a Mama's chicks aren't under her wings she's longing for the ones that are away from the nest. No avoiding that, I'm afraid. You'll just live for those times when all your chicks are together with you again, and store up those memories to pull out and savor on those days when you miss them so much it's a real physical and spiritual pain in your heart.<br /><br />Love you, my friend. xoxoxo<br /><br />DianeDiane@Diane's Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919687116633720697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-81694233732542183602010-03-24T23:21:19.668-04:002010-03-24T23:21:19.668-04:00I haven't walked in your shoes, Bev, but I can...I haven't walked in your shoes, Bev, but I can certainly "feel" your torn emotions in your words. I also sense your strength - and I know that His strength will be yours at the moments you most need it.<br /><br />I do miss your posts these days!Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059837275907441219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176966263550749305.post-31263412968405809962010-03-24T22:45:12.309-04:002010-03-24T22:45:12.309-04:00Ah, moving is so hard.
