Got in late last night. Do you have any idea how hard it was to tear ourselves away from all the sunshine and palm trees? We arrived in Milwaukee yesterday to rain, fog and 50 degrees. We felt such a heaviness to be back in Wisconsin. Ugh! It was dreary and depressing, to say the least. But we're seriously talking about moving to Arizona. I think God even approves!

Funny...cause I'm 'here now' and it's not at all enough! I want so much more, hehe...
I have to unpack now and shake off the jet lag, but I'll be back later to catch up with all of you!
