It has been a while since I posted, so I will give a brief update. We went to NJ, where Glenn headed to MSG School in Quantico, VA. We were dropped from the course due to medical issues, and the few weeks he was there was a difficult time, and I will spare you the details. It was difficult because we were unsure every day what was going to happen, I was missing him terribly and also missing my home. However, I think we learned a lot during that time. I learned to lean on God more and to wait for His timing. I also feel that now after living with my mother-in-law, I am managing my time better at home, and I think also keeping up on the laundry a little better. I have OCD with things like germs and checking things, but I think she has OCD with laundry! I also witnessed her going on a cleaning spree at midnight one night that lasted until 3 am, and I actually assisted her with this spree until I got scared and fled for my life, fearful that I would end up in the garbage can with the piles of stuff she was almost blindly chucking away. Oh, and it also happened to be about 1 AM.
So, we are back at home now after 2.5 days on the road. It is nice to be home and in the San Diego weather again. Every day when I get up I just soak in the sunshine and warmth and the light, cool breeze.
Anyway, while we were on our trip home, the second and last hotel we stopped was in Tucumcari, NM. We stayed at a Best Western and woke up early the next morning, eager to reach home that night for a few reasons, one of them being that we couldn't afford another hotel. We got in the van, and Glenn drove up to the hotel entrance to check out. As me and the kids sat there in the waiting car, Jeff said to me, "I have a new name, and it starts with a K now." I asked him what his new name was, and he said, "Junior Fawf." I couldn't understand what he was saying at first, so I asked him a few more times, and finally realized that, according to him, his new name was Junior Fawf. I figure maybe the "K" is silent, like Kjunior Fawf? I asked him where he got this new name, and he said, "In the bed at the hotel." Did God come to him in a dream and tell him that he shall now be called Junior Fawf? I guess we will never know.

Love your blog. I don't deny I have OCD for throwing things away, doing laundry and cleaning in the middle of the night. I'm so thankful that you are back in your home as a family. I love you....MOM MIL
