From Texas toooo FLORIDEEE

I can't do much complaining about camper living full time when I'm in Florida.  We arrived here on the 25th and have settled in with the snow birds.  However not without excitement on the way here.  We had our first HUGE bump in the road on the way here.  We blew out a tire on the camper going through the Louisiana bayou's on interstate 10.  Scary thing is Nathan had to change the tire on a bridge with about 4ft of space (& that is thinking on the big side).  I didn't take a picture, we were just praying a semi was not going to fly by and hit us going 70 mph.  We arrived safely in Perdido Key, Florida at Playa Del Rio RV Park and Yacht Club.  We have the Inter coastal Waterway  to the back of us and across the road down a private boardwalk we have the Gulf of Mexico.  The weather has been great only 1 rainy day.  The kids and I have spent most afternoons soaking up the sun and sand after school of course.  The beach is really empty this time of year, all the chairs and loungers put away make the sand look never ending.  Nathan had a few days off and we went and toured the Navy Aviation Museum (we are about 20 minutes from Pensacola).  If you are ever this way I highly recommend the museum, so much history about the Navy and every plane that they've ever flown.  We got to see the Blue Angels practicing for the upcoming year!  We had a low key Halloween.  The kids carved out Uncle Si and IJ made a Lego Head pumpkin they took home 1st and 2nd at the RV park get together.  Everyone was so sweet and gave the kids candy.  Their parents bribed them by telling them they could pick out their very own bag of candy if we could stick to low key festivities (it worked) The next day when all the candy was 1/2 off we let them pick their own.

  I know some of you are dying to know what my schedule has been like and how the kids are adjusting.  My schedule as follows:

7am wake coffee/quiet time

8-9am breakfast for kids

9-1 2 school for the kids

Lunch

Rest of the day is usually spent picking up the camper thinking about what will be for dinner and getting school ready for next day.  Laundry is every 3 days. 

I guess things just seem minimized, but the family time has been maximized!  The kids have all adjusted well to doing this (they just love being with their daddy). 

I don't want to lose sight of seeking the Lord no matter where my front porch maybe; my desire to know him more should never change. 

I have asked on thing from the Lord; it is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking Him in His temple.  Psalm 27:4

His temple is where I bow my head in prayer, where I journal my deepest thoughts and continue to allow Him to uncover the things that He knows I must change to be more fruitful.
