Dresses and Changes

Sorry that I haven't been around much lately. Life has kept me busy. Thank you for all of your suggestions about dressing for the winter; they were all helpful. I've come up with some ideas of my own for some rainy/snowy weather clothing that I'm going to make. As soon as my fabric arrives I'll post about that.
I finished a couple of dresses this past week. My daughter picked out the fabric and design for this one. I'm not crazy about it, but she likes it, and it's modest, so that's one battle I won't be fighting....
For my dress I used a trusty old pattern that I knew would fit and look good. I also decided to fully line the dress, so it's extra comfy and will wear really well. Nina, you'll like this one.... the name of the fabric is "Portugal"....

This week we've had a few changes to our plans. Remember that mandatory 2 week paid vacation I told you all about? We were supposed to take this between our moves, you know, to have a break and get recharged. It looks like that won't be happening now. They're shorthanded in Estonia, and need my husband there ASAP, so unless things change somehow, we'll be headed straight there from here. We are still supposed to get our vacation, but it will have to wait until a time when my husband can be spared; maybe a few months after we get there. Not long ago, I might have been really upset about this, or at the very least, stressed-out about such a big change in plans. But I have been praying about this whole move and vacation for so long and have given all of the planning and decisions over to God, and he has given me a peace about all of this. I can't help but wonder though.... remember how it was said that our new president would be tested shortly after he took office?? Do I really want to be flying to the U.S. out of Israel at such a time as that? Hmmm. Whatever the circumstances, I know this is part of God's perfect plan, and that's good enough for me.
