Yesterday afternoon, we (Rollie and I) arrived at the wonderful home of my in-laws. We had a fabulous meal together as we watched Rollie (do exactly what I knew she would--swim in the pool)!!!
"So why am I in Phoenix???"--this may be the question you are now asking yourself! Well over the past week Alex and I have talked and prayed about what we should now do. Being unsure of whether he will stay in Corpus or go back to Lancaster, we were both confused as to which decision we should make. With this being my first season travelling, I had not experienced a move in the middle of the season (or in our case 3 weeks into the season) but I knew that this was more than normal and possible--plus how exciting to get promoted now!!! Alex, too, has not experienced a move during a season either--so this is unknown territory to us Sogards! After constant prayer and conversations, we decided that it would be best for me to pack up in Lancaster and head to Phoenix. Here in Phoenix, Rollie will have a cohort (Rudy and Anna's beagle) and a yard to play in!!! The car is packed and sitting in the driveway. On Monday, I am jetting off to see my man in Corpus for an entire week!!! This decision was hard to make, but we felt that it was the smartest and best suited for us--I have a return flight while Alex's team has a roadtrip and from that point we will then reevaluate the situation of where and what we need to do. Southwest Airlines is definitely our friend in this lifestyle, you can book flights and have the peace of mind knowing that if changes need to be made, our wallet will not take the hit as with other airlines!!! It has been so amazing to look at our path and how the Lord has prepared not only our hearts, but our attitudes to take on this crazy journey.

| Packed up again!!! |
Oftentimes, I have questions of what my purpose is in this journey, but more than anything I have found such a peace in who I am in Christ not this feeble feeble world! He made me to support my husband as he pursues his dream and along the way proclaim Christ's name! Driving the many miles that I have, it is super hard not to constantly give thanks for the privilege and beauty that I have been gifted to live in and that He himself created!! I know that I am more than quirky and have many flaws, but during this journey it has been revealed to me that I am His child and he knitted me together!!! More than anything, I have become so incredibly grateful to be where I am and have such rewarding opportunities!!! It was so hard for me to say bye to those that we are so close with in Lancaster, but we are excited to see the paths of our futures! Many thanks to the Ben Orloff for making sure I was taken care of while Alex was gone and for packing up the car with me--you are awesome!!!!
