Well, as the title says...its been awhile since I last posted but a lot has happened. My grandmother passed away on February 1st, but Judy, Jill, Jack and I were able to spend a few days with her and mom & dad...where the original 6 Fishpaw's do not usually get to spend much time together. I will miss her and think about her every day!
Danielle is moving in with her boyfriend this month. I am so very proud of her...the woman she has become and still growing into. She has found a wonderful man in Ryan...he respects her, treats her well and loves her for who she is...which is all a mom can ask for in the one her daughter chooses. God has truly had a hand in this and I am thankful.
Alex is working full time and still trying to figure out who she is in this life, where she belongs and what she wants to do. It comes with time and patience, so I just hope she is true to herself and will make the decisions based on her choices not others. She needs to listen to her heart.
I really appreciate and am thankful for my growing relationship with Sarah. She has been dealing with a few things, but God is healing and strengthening her daily. Her and Parker sold their house and are taking some time to themselves.
And the biggest change...I have made the decision to leave Dallas for a year. I am moving to Tucson in April...to work and to help Jill with her 4 kids, while Steve is in Iraq for the year. Please keep Jill's family and Steve in your thoughts and prayers as well as all the military personnel.
Leaving here is a happy/sad bed of emotions. Of course, first and foremost, missing the girls. But the year will pass by quickly and I will be back often. I have also lived and worked here for over 30 years. I am excited about the new adventure and also helping Jill. A definite win/win situation. Telling my friends and leaving my special events industry friends in Dallas is also hard for me, but I will be back.
I am looking forward to what the next year holds for my family.
