Have you seen that Tom Hanks movie “The Terminal”? My life right now feels a little bit like he
must have felt. Waiting. And more waiting.
A quick recap of our
2014:
Cassie really seemed to enjoy her Senior year at Sitka High
School. She did some traveling within
the state for choir, vocal jazz, and soccer.
Turns out she’s a pretty awesome soccer player, though she only played
for one season. And we already knew
about her amazing vocal talent. She
graduated in May and is now working full time as a preschool teacher. Cassie’s friend, Chris, moved to New Orleans
in June and she was able to visit there in August and December. As soon as she returned, she was online searching
for her next destination.
Arnold and his wife, Nichole, made a brief visit to Sitka
before he was transferred from Camp Pendleton to Okinawa. They’ll be there for three years (left
California in late April). Can’t say
much about how they’re doing as Arnold has never been very chatty.
In March, I put the house on the market , anticipating that
it would sell quickly and we’d be leaving Sitka this past summer. We’ve been waiting now for nine months. Waiting, getting rid of as much stuff as I
can, and waiting.
What’s next? We have
a road trip planned that takes us through 29 states and across nearly 8,000
miles. I hope to find where I belong somewhere along the way. Of course the road trip can’t happen until
the house sells, so we’re waiting.
PROM! Cassie and Chris. (Doesn't she look stunning?!?!?)
Cassie and our friend, Annie, baking cookies.
Merry Christmas!
