Home again for a short time

We have returned home from Oregon, where we went for my father's funeral. We will be home for 4 days and then will fly to Altanta (and then drive to South Carolina) for Jon Paul's graduation from Basic Training.

Once we return from that trip, I will be driving Naomi back to Oregon. She is going to move in with Grandma to help provide care for her. Naomi's cousin Joshua will also be moving to Oregon. I will leave the Suburban for her to be able to get to and from college (yes, college!) and will return to Colorado by Greyhound.

I have made some progress on organizing the house. But I can't find some of the hardware needed for the bookcases, and I don't have much mental energy to easily figure out the layout of things. But at least there are some pathways created now. :)

Thank you to all of you who have sent emails, messages on Facebook and cards. Your prayers are helping to sustain us through this tough time.

Friday the 13th- Very BAD day

My father was killed when his tractor overturned on him. I don't know many of the details. Jonathan, Naomi and I plan to fly to Oregon on Tuesday. The funeral will be later in the week as 2 of my sisters are currently out of the country. Denise and Jon Paul will try to make it. Jon Paul has been told he will be allowed emergency leave and that he should be able to make up any training he misses in order to still graduate on time.

Your prayers for all of my family are greatly appreciated.
