Wyatt's has NEW WORDS....

Wyatt has officially started saying a few things, not with specific things or specific times, but he is starting to talk. His word that he started saying this week is ALL DONE. I really think he always heard that from Emily, I always remember her saying that after meals, and snacks. If you say to him ALL DONE then he will start a conversation like you would not believe, of course the only words we understand is ALL DONE.

Wyatt and I were able to come home to Tulsa this weekend, and it felt good to be in my own bed. I do not know what the weeks ahead will hold, but I clearly know that we must be back together as a family very soon. Wyatt, and I miss Justin and of course he misses us! This has been one of the hardest decisions we have had to make in a very long time. I love my church, my friends, my home, and Tulsa very much, but I also have enjoyed the past two weeks in Lubbock. I am working for the same company I was in Tulsa, it is called VistaCare Hospice. Justin and I were talking one night and he said Lisa, I have agreed to do this so willingly because your calling is Senior Adults, and specifically end of life care for those patients, and their families. I really can not argue that, he is right. I want to honor GOD, and continue to use my talents. Some of you would say that it could be done here in Tulsa, and it probably could be, but state guidelines have made it very different in Oklahoma, and that is why so many hospice providers are struggling. At VistaCare Tulsa we were 1 of 75 hospice providers offering a service, in Lubbock we are 1 of 9. The past two weeks have been hard because I guess I thought I would go, and have a clear sign that I was not suppose to be in Lubbock, and would go back to Tulsa, that did not happen. Justin will soon learn the future of his position with UPS Freight, they have offered to transfer him to Lubbock, and they work the guys 4 days a week instead of 5. That would be extra time with his family. How could one argue that benefit?

Stay tuned for future updates, and I will let you know as soon as we know.

I can't stand the thought of you guys leaving... I know we've discussed this many times and you know we'd all be so sad here, but whatever is God's plan is what you need to do. We love you guys! I'll talk to you tomorrow. :)

I have tried emailing you, but unsure if you have received it. I had no idea that you may be moving back to Lubbock. I would love for you to send a note when you get the chance. What a year that the three of you have had! I will pray for the three of you to make the best decision. Love, Tawnya

Pray for you all everyday! Sounds kind of like the train is charging to Texas! :( Bummer for us. We have been praying that God would unite you together as a family quickly and you would not have to spend time apart. Now of course we thought that meant Tulsa not sure if God has you confused with someone else :) like maybe there's a Jason and Liza that are supposed to be in Lubbock and Justin and Lisa are supposed to stay in Tulsa!:) Please!Please! You know we love you all no matter what and will miss you terribly if you all go!
Love,
Julie

I just watched the video of Wyatt. It is so precious. He has grown so much in the last couple of weeks. I really miss seeing you. I even looked for you in church on Sunday. Hope all is well. Praying for you and love you.
