Home Is Where The Heart Is

A huge "thank you" goes out to those who helped us move and those that supported us in other ways in our recent move.  We have 13 years of memories in Auroraville and we are looking forward to many more years of memories in our new home.  We have purged out belongings that were not needed but all the memories are still with us.
In the move, we have discovered that home is definitely where the heart is.  When we return to do the necessary maintenance on the "old house" until it is sold, it really doesn't feel like home anymore.  As Emily said, "It's just a lawn to mow."  This is coming from the one who really wasn't certain in the beginning.  As Trevor said, "Our new place looks like our old one with all the same stuff inside!"  A house is just that....a building, until we move in and fill it with the love of a family.  After only 3 weeks here, it is our home.  It feels like we have been here for a lot longer as we are settled here.
We look forward to you all coming to visit to help us make many more memories!

Back to Music Camp!

Today Terry & I took Trevor to the campus that will be his home for a week again this summer.  He was excited to go back, hook-up with his room mate from last year (who is he lucky enough to room with again!) and meet up with some of his classmates as well. We stayed long enough to get him settled in his dorm room, his auditions completed & fed him lunch! It was awesome to see him so excited to get started with the week ahead.....so different from last year!  He was excited.....but very uncertain as it was all a new experience. 
To complete our evening, he just sent a text to let us know that he was accepted into the highest level of band at the camp that takes 6-12th graders!!  I am so proud of him!!  After his audition, he told us that he thought it went well but when Terry asked what group he thought he would be placed in, he said it would be the middle group because there are so many players better than him.  MUSIC IS DEFINITELY ONE OF HIS PASSIONS!
