So as it turns out, I'm out of space on this blog and I'm way too cheap to pay for it, so I guess it's time to use a different blog to record the next chapter of our lives. This blog started with our adoption of Diamond and Florence, which means that it spans the last five years of our lives. I suppose this is a good time for this blog to transition to the next one, as this is a time in our lives when we are now once again moving. Some time in the next six weeks we will be going from Korea to San Antonio.
Much has happened in the five years of this blog. Besides our world traveling adventures, my children have grown from being small and wild little things to being tall, skinny wild things. Their personalities are developing into full-fledged people with wit, intelligence and spirituality. We have had heartache through deployments and growing pains with expanding our family and our horizons. We have had miracles and life-altering experiences.
I would hope that the last five years that have been recorded on this blog are a testament to how life can change people for the best. While the only physical changes I may have had in the past five years have been a few extra wrinkles and some grey hair--I would like to think that I have grown immensely in my understanding of life, love and the world as a whole.
In the five years to come, my three oldest will most likely move out my house and go away to college. My youngest children will enter junior high and high school. Brian will likely retire from the Army. Hopefully, he and I will both earn our doctorate degrees. And, more than anything I hope that we get to continue to have incredible, life-changing, jet-setting adventures.
Stay tuned. . . the best is yet to come!
The new blog will be The Next Chapter in the Simons' Adventures (feel free to visit us there!)
