Someone please pinch me...I have begged and prayed for my children to live close and never thought it would happen. Well they are not all in Columbus but now I have Amy, Kevin, Hannah, Grace, Emma and Joshua here just 7 minutes away, Jeff , Kelly, and Andy 15 - 20 minutes away and Jodi & John just 3 hours away in KY but we are hoping they will move back sometime soon too. When I get to just drop in and see my grand babies or they stop over I get so excited because it's still so new to me. What a blessing to be able to really be in their day to day world. It's amazing. I know our world is usually not like that and jobs separate people but I think that may be part of the breakdown of families these days...when you are young and raising kids it's hard to do it far away from family...you know they always say "It takes a village to raise a child!" Believe it because it definitely works better to have family support. Christa is still in college but Steve and I are praying already that she will stay around this area too.
I am looking forward to my husband's Valentine dinner concert this Sat. in Walnut Creek, Ohio and on Valentine's Day in Sugarcreek. He will be working very hard but for me it's a real vacation. I love it in Amish Country. As soon as you get there everything is so beautiful with the snow covered rolling hills. It's like stepping back in time. http://www.dutchmanonline.com/
