Life is a series of storms; some lesser, some greater, some devastating, some refreshing--and all in some way beautiful. I have weathered many a storm in the open, far from home and loved ones. And I have journeyed home in anticipation for many more. For me home has always been in the same place; one block from the grocery store; one block from the schools; one block from the pool and park; and right next to my best friend's house. Even after I left home, blazing my own path in the world I would return for comfort and work a few weeks or months at a time. Always saying my good byes and looking forward to my next visit. That’s changed now, in March 2015 Nat and I moved to my childhood home. It’s been two weeks now, I’m not sure what’s going on, Nat is neck deep in community recreation and I have a mustache.
Finding the perfect tree is no easy feat! Randall's mean business in their search...everyone spreads out and calls out when they think they've found THE tree. It typically goes like this, first the call <<I've found one, I've found one!!!>> Then, everyone rushes over...<<no, there's a bald spot--how about this one?!>>... <<uh that one's too fat--how about this one?>>....<<maybe if we cut off the top half?!>> Then finally after all the funning around Dustin's dad didn't even ask he just cut one down and declared our tree for the year. It turned out to be perfect, as it always is, and a great reminder here's the poem D wrote for the season
<<Year around it holds its ground,Merry Merry Christmas!
The color of an evergreen tree.
A simple sign to keep in mind,
That Christ was born to set us free.>>
