ABQ

We made it to Albuquerque!! That's right I know how to spell it. Moving makes me tired. I've been thinking about my next post, but I'm in no mood to blog now. My sister Laura flew to Alabama and drove with the boys and me. She is the best! I just wanted to say that we made it, I'm happy and alive, the boys are excited about the pool, and Joe started work today. I will fill in the details later.

Rachel and kids said...: Hey joan is me Rachel (Crocker) Hatch. I totally understand how emotional a graduation can be and I agree its not bittersweet! I was so happy when Shaylar finally graduated from dental school and we could move on with our lives. We've lived in New Orleans,La, Las vegas, NV and now we are in Show Low, AZ-I miss moving around! The thought of staying put is actually really hard. I hope Albuquerque serves you guys well. Congrats to Joe-that is such an amazing acomplishment!
Love,
