Southern California Fires
I just found out today that my brother-in-laws parents home most likely was destroyed in the Sylmar fire. They are 90+ years old and I don't know what is going to happen now. They had enough time to pack some clothes and important papers before they were evacuated. They have lived in this home for quite a few years and everything may be gone. Out of the 600 homes there only 100 made it through the fire. Those are not good odds for them. I am now sitting here praying to the Lord that there house was spared. I am asking anyone that reads this blog to please offer your prayers to them that they were spared this horrible tragidy and to offer prayers to those who were not so lucky. I thank God every day for the people and things that are in my life and pray for those who don't.

Finally in New Mexico
Wow, it's been a really long time since I've blogged, shame on me.
Lena and I have finally made it to New Mexico and it is great to be back with Randy. She and I really missed him. The house Randy rented for us is perfect, he knows me all too well. We rented our house in Utah to some friends so that worked out great. Lena started at her new school the Wednesday after the election and she has already made some friends in her class. The school is only 4 years old and really nice. The day we drove into the driveway she made a friend in the neighborhood. A little girl that lives down the street.
I love being here, but would not do the drive again. It took us about 11 hours to get here and let me tell you, I was so tired I just wanted to lay down on the floor and sleep for about 2 days. Alas, that was not possible, all the wonderful boxes I had packed in Utah now had to be unpacked. My parents were here until Wednesday, so we got a lot accomplished. The house is almost put together with the exception of all of Lena's toys that are still in the garage. I'm not looking forward to packing up again in about 2 years. Hopefully, the house in Utah will sell and we can buy in Oregon and Lena and I will stay there while Randy travels.
Well, that's all for now.
