From Oz to Texas!

It has been so long. So much has happened. So much learned, but that is what life is about. We are now in Texas--Keller to be exact and it is a great place. Lots of nice people, a clean and safe area and great schools. We are really liking it here so far. It took us only a few months to turn around and come back here and Texas is our next adventure. I guess I didn't realize that by naming this blog "The Dennis Family Adventures" that we would actually be living them at this rate. It is all good though and we are all together and enjoying the life that God is leading us through.
Missing friends and family where ever we leave. That is the hard part, but living in the moment and appreciating this moment is something that has been learned along the way. I know this last year would not have been as doable if we didn't have our awesome friends and family supporting us all along the way. It was so nice to have you all loving us and listening when times were stressful.
So, life continues to flow and we are going to enjoy our first Fall season in 2 years. I already have the "pumpkin-spice" candles out and the Halloween decorations. I am loving this time of year. Trick-or-treating will be so great here (from what I hear, this neighborhood we are in really goes off!). Kacie is playing soccer with a vengence (on 2 teams) and is practicing outside by herself right now matter of fact. Blake is playing baseball and Michael is coaching him --team name: The Padres xoxoxxo. Lauren is dancing to her hearts content doing ballet, tap and tumbling. Michael is about to embark on a new job with a company based in NYC. I am busy with mom duties and house duties. Life is so good right now. I truly believe that we may live more fully from the experiences we have in life. We will take all we have learned and endeavor to apply it each day. The friends, places and times of our lives are so important to us. Ran across this song at church of all places the other day. It really works for our lives:

There are places i'll remember

All my life though some have changed

Some forever not for better

Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments

With lovers and friends i still can recall

Some are dead and some are living

In my life i've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you

And these memories lose their meaning

When i think of love as something new

Though i know i'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know i'll often stop and think about them

In my life i love you more
