I missed you this past week.

Jeff,
 Well, I did it. I went on the trip to Santa Fe with Mom and Connie. We rode the train from Hutch to Lamy, NM and it was a wonderful way to travel. It was hard to look at the beauty that surrounded me. This was to be our trip. You and I talked about making this trip and maybe even finding a place to someday retire so I could paint and take pictures. I went out thinking that I would not enjoy it. How could I? You wouldn't be by my side. But as the mountains came into view and I saw the beauty before me, I knew as I have always said, " This is where God has meant for me to land and stay". And I felt you there with me. Thank you for that.
  I know now that my goal is to be living in or near Santa Fe in the next 5 years. I will get the business going, the product selling and making the money we have projected. I will get the boys into college and then I will make the move. I have already begun making my list of what I want in a home there. Where I was anxious about going just 5 days ago, now I can't wait to begin this part of our journey. ( yes it is still OUR journey. You will always be with me in my heart and soul).
  Still, I missed you baby.
