We've always been blessed to live only an hour away from Gary's parents, and the kids have enjoyed seeing their Opa and Oma once a month or so. So, that made it really hard when we moved last winter. Now, that's about to change - Gary's folks have bought a nice little house only half a mile from us! It will be really nice to have them close enough that we can get together more often than we did when we lived in Illinois! And, they'll be able to get passes to the pool that we can see from our house, but can't use - I hope they're allowed to bring guests swimming, too. They're hoping to be able to move in before Christmas, so now we just have to pray that all goes well with their packing and preparations and that their current home sells quickly. I think it will - two and a half acres of wooded land with river frontage won't be on the market for long!
Once we get them moved and settled, our next project will be to get MY parents down here, too! They live in Tulsa and are caring for my grandmother who has Alzheimer's disease, so it might not be so easy for them right now. But we can pray about that, too! It will be really wonderful to have our whole family together at last.
Our family is blessed to have such good relationships between both sets of parents and us. I know that's very rare - we are so richly blessed.
