Endings and New Beginnings

We have wrapped up our time in Del Rio, Texas. I wasn't sure that I would be sad to leave the small border town where it takes three hours to get to civilization (aka Starbucks and Target), but as the moving van came and loaded all of our things, I knew that I would.

There is a great deal that happened in this house. It's where Joshua learned to walk and talk, where we brought Caleb home from the hospital, and it will always have a special place in my heart. We made some great friends here through Jeremy's UPT class, through bible studies, with our neighbors, and through the Officer Spouse Club. We are so blessed to have made life long friends here. Since we only had a year here, I don't feel like we got to know everyone as much as we could have, so I hope that one day we will be stationed together again. Because it's a small Air Force, and it's always "see you later" instead of "goodbye."

We were also very blessed for Kirsten and Joshua to go to an amazing preschool while we lived here. The Methodist Day School was the best first preschool experience they could have had with amazing teachers who loved and guided them, teaching academic and biblical principals. They will both miss the school, their friends, and their teachers!

 

 



 

Now our new adventure begins in Little Rock, Arkansas! We couldn't be more excited to be in a town that we are somewhat familiar with and where we have great friends. We've had a ton of help from friends moving in already and are so, so very grateful for everything! We have appreciated all of the advice on the best locations to live, the best preschools, elementary schools, churches, and fun things to do with little ones as well as everyone who lent us things that we needed when we first got here. We can't wait to get to know our neighbors (who already seem fantastic bringing over gifts and offering to help or babysit), people in the community, and reconnect with old friends as well!
