Why a blog?

This is my first time to ever do anything like this so please bare with me. I decided to start a blog mostly for myself. I wanted to keep track of all the crazy things that go on in our house on a daily basis. I also thought this would be good for my soul and keep me smiling and laughing even when I feel defeated by my littles at the end of the day. I'm sure there are a lot of blogs out there similar to this one and it may just bore people but that's alright. This is us, me and my littles!

Saying good bye to Zephyr...

Spring 2011
 After almost 6 years and 7 summers, the Thomas family is moving on. God is moving us not across the state of Texas but to Arizona! It's crazy! The emotions in this house this past week have been extra special...we are excited, nervous, overwhelmed, sad...Zephyr was our first real home, the place where 2 of our daughters were born, the place we had our first pet. We have grown so much here and I couldn't of asked for a better place to raise our girls these past few years. They grew up exploring all things nature, climbing oak trees, camping at the lake, swimming in the pond, fishing with their Dad on the boat, horseback riding and riding bikes all over camp. We have had the opportunity to really experience the "country life" to the fullest! We are used to regular visit by scorpions, watching deer eat in the field, random episodes with mice and rats, finding a baby mole in the playroom and EVEN  a snake in the dining room! As weird as all that sounds, I wouldn't change any of it. Well, except the snake part! Blah! Zephyr is where we found our second family and all our close friends and church community. The thought of saying good bye to all these people that we love and driving out of camp for the last time is too much...

We are really excited for this new season that God has planned for us. I never imagined we would ever live in a place like Zephyr so I can't wait to see what He will do next! Pray for us as we (and the camp) go through all these emotions and changes! Zephyr on my mind....
