Well, we are now living in Utah. I know, I know, I have been talking about this forever, and I was accused by several people that we were never really moving. But we did. And now we live here.
But where is here? We are, so far, homeless. We are camping out at Dave's parents' house, en route to a new (to us) home. Where will we land? What does the future hold for us? Will my children be happy? What is going to happen, for heaven's sake?!?!
Ever since we have been talking to the children about moving to Utah, we have promised Faith a dog when we got a new house in Utah. Now, what do you think Faith talks about, day in and day out? A dog, a puppy, or any combination thereof. We have looked at several pet stores, searched every pet adoption website in the area. Last night, Faith came moping upstairs well after she had been put to bed, crying about how she cannot possibly fall asleep without her puppy! She truly and honestly meant the puppy that we do not actually have yet! Yikes!
So, with a house and a new neighbourhood, we will also have a puppy. Or a dog. Or whatever. I am happy to get her that one thing, after all this up and down, back and forth, transitions and camping out. If that is all it takes, for her, for now, I am all for it.
Plus, I like dogs! Life is wuff...
ps. Nothing to do with the post, but this picture is from our hike out to Kaena Point, which is the northern-most point of the island of Oahu. In the background are monk seals, which come up on the shores of the island to rest. Faith is always overjoyed to see animals; any kind will do...

That Faith is such a love; her cousin Tess is also a huge dog lover....
Hey Angie,
I'm so glad you are back so I can have a second go at seeing you. I'm moving back home to Boston on the 29th, so we can't procrastinate it too long. I am around. call me. come over.
