Possessions have arrived. Well, they actually arrived three months ago but the search for a home to put them in proved to be a more difficult task than anticipated. But now, contracts are signed, PODS delivered, and the new address is permanent! Tim and the family are REALLY home!
They have a Texas phone number, a Texas address and now they are where they belong! For Tim it has been 14 years, for Mandy not quite as long, for Brooklynn, a VAGABOND since birth .......real roots. They are Texans once again.
Father and son took on the grueling task of unloading all of their possessions. Jimmy, not quite a young man anymore, proved that age does not deminish strength! Two huge PODS in an afternoon and he was still able to get to work in the morning and then head off to the lake! There is indeed something to be said for the "older" citizen!
Now their settling part begins. It is like Christmas. There are boxes that have been packed away for over a year. Items that are being rediscovered, things forgotten in their cross country trek. 
For Brooklynn it is a real home. It is not a life of rolling her suitcase from one home to another anymore. It is not a different bed on a weekly basis. She has a place she belongs...her bed, her toys, her books, her mom and dad....all together once again. 
And for Jimmy and I it means we are all here...our family. Separated as we have been for so long, we are not now and hopefully won't be anymore. A ten minute drive any direction and we can see our kids. As the "senior" years stare us in the face, they look pretty darn good!
