Saying Goodbyes

Yesterday was our last Sunday to lead and participate in our Life Phase community, Marriage Matters, at Grace Chapel here in the Denver area. The time was truly emotional, difficult, and yet good. There is no easy way to say goodbye to friends, and the reality of leaving does not set in until one is actually faced with the real possibility of not seeing some of them for quite some time. We were blessed with a scrapbook of the various families in our community, each writing a short note of encouragement with a family photo for us to look at and remember as we officially transition to Texas. We were also blessed with many hugs and teary eyes that confirmed for me that, for a season, these friends were truly our extended family. For those we are leaving behind in Colorado, we deeply love you! Thank you for your enduring support!

As soon as you are moved in, its time to teach Adina how to upload pictures from the digital camara. I want to see those boys grow.

We look forward to the news that you are settled, some pictures of the new place, and some stories of your traveling adventures. We're praying for you!
