The last few weeks have held many lasts for Mike and I in Abilene. Last Wednesday was our last dinner with some of our good friends, Sunday was our last day at Highland as residents of Abilene and our last lunch with some other friends, last night was my final opportunity to see a client at the Marriage and Family Institute, today is my last day of work in Admissions at ACU and my last supervision group, and tomorrow will be our last dinner with our small group for a while. I am not sure that all of these things have set in yet. There are definitely moments when I regret this descision because it is hard to say goodbye. But then I hear of people in Kentucky who are so excited for us to come that they spend a day at our new house doing yard work for us and I realize that there are many great things to come. Transitions are so difficult, yet they tend to be the times when we learn the most. This will be a great time of deepening my relationship with God and Mike as we walk in faith. I just pray that I will allow myself to grieve, because that is very important, but also look ahead to the great things and memories to come.

I know we have only been friends for what....3 weeks? Maybe a few days longer. But, I have truly enjoyed spending my days with you! James and I will keep you and Mike in our prayers as you move forward with this journey in your lives.

Okay, maybe this is weird commenting on a blog you posted over two years ago, but I am so glad you are here at Reidland! I can't imagine it without you, and I am so glad you decided to "journey" with us. I love you!
