A New Day

I woke up today knowing I have to let my worrying about our move go.  God’s got it all under control.  We have a limited number of days here to enjoy our family and friends in Pensacola.  I can’t worry and enjoy myself at the same time so enjoy wins.  I’ve been praying about this move for a few years now so I’ve got to trust God has heard those prayers and will work it all out.  I’ll call the housing office next week.  If my being there will help move things up or doing any good whatsoever, then we’ll go, but if not, we are staying here.  We’ll give it time for families to move out of housing or if that’s not the case, then we’ll rent a house off post in Rolla and move onto post when a house becomes available.  It’ll mean the kids have to change schools, but kids are resilient…remind me of that later, okay?

So anyway, today, camping, Gulf Shores, Alabama.  It’s beautiful out here but so hot.  I took Caden for a bike ride around the block this morning and I had sweat rolling down my back when we got back.  Caden’s bike is way too small for him, but it’s makes starting in stopping so much easier since his feet are so close to the ground.  We need to work on turning and he’s still a tad bit wobbly, but he’ll be a pro when we leave here on Tuesday.

I had to take Jaelyn to urgent care this morning.  She’s had a one dog barking cough that turned into a whole kennel of dogs.  She sounded horrible.  The doctor diagnoses her with a sinus infection and gave her a z-pack and a stronger antihistamine than she was taking.  Medicine and Jaelyn’s mood don’t always mix so I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

After lunch, we headed for the pool for a little bit.  The pool was packed. 

My parents have always been here in the spring and fall when the park was empty.  They continue to be amazed by how many people are here camping.  I’m amazed by how many people are here camping in tents.  That’s pure craziness.  Don’t they know it’s 98 degrees outsider.  I’m intrigued by all the tent campers.  That would be so much nicer than our tent J.

We checked out the beach again this evening.  We took the kids and let them dig in the sand and dip their toes in the Gulf.  It’s still hot, but the breeze coming off the water is cooler.
