9 months . . . . .

It is hard to imagine that this much time has gone by . . . . the pain of living without him is with us everyday, but people who have experienced this before us are right, it does get a little easier to think about the future as each month passes. No one ever tells widows how much there is to do . . . so many decisions, so many things to settle. Many are behind me and now I am faced with looking ahead to future plans. Rachel's last of HS in Argentina was today, and she will be enjoying some traveling and relaxing before returning in early March. Rebecca has joined Drew, Katie and Fiona in Washington, preparing for grad school next year. Rachel will be interviewing at colleges over spring break and we hope to make our move in early summer. Sarah will follow from Minneapolis soon after, she is thinking about Spokane. A year ago when we were in Colorado scattering Kent's ashes, Drew got the job offer from Seattle, I never dreamt that we would all be out there a year later . . . . . God's plans are so great! Thank you friends and family for all your support, we are adapting to what Drew calls . . . . the "new" normal.
