I have always been a fighter, no matter what it was I fought it. If my mom wanted me to do something I fought her, even if I wanted to do it. For the longest time I just thought that was how I was. But then I started not liking it so I stopped fighting altogether, Well little did I know the kids (yet again, they are so much smarter then me!) taught me a lesson about myself.
We were watching Kung Fu Panda, which is very cute and recomended, anyway these animals are Kung Fu warriors. Kai Lung is the best, but he fights to prove evryone wrong, he wants to be the best and will do anything to get there, to prove he is strong enough, he is good enough. While viper (one of the five warriors) is very sweet, and a fighter. She fights for justice and truth, for protection. She is dangerous, yet controlled. While I was sitting there watching this, God was saying "That's you, you were meant to fight, fight for truth, fight for your family, yet not out of rebellion or proof of anything, just because that is who you are."
Wow,
Well I won't finish the story for those of you who haven't seen it, but viper isn't the "hero" of the story, she isn't the best, yet she is essential. So next time you are watching "Cars, or Cinderella" for the tenth time, just listen God may be teaching you something too, that you are loved, you are essential, and you are His

(In Hannah's words) "bye california, hello colorado", (or Austin;s) "ladolado"
We are here! I can't believe it, it still feels like vacation I keep waiting for the time when we have to go to the airport. Today we are looking for houses and areas we would like to live. Jake doesn't start work until next monday so we have a week to look and get everything in order. Maybe by then it will sink in and I will realize how much our lives have changed and how I miss you all so dearly. Pics and more info to follow, we love you all
