At this time in my life, I realize that friends come and go but your family will always be there for you. After Kevin and I went on an extended weekend visit to New York we enjoyed being around family and the things we could do with their support. Even though we have no immediate plans to move we will be up for transfer in 2 years. With Kevin's sister getting married this fall and the expectation that she will start a family over the next 5 years we wonder if it would be an appropriate time to relocate in the NJ/NY area. Christian will be school age by then and we'd love for our children to go up together. Definitely something we are thinking and praying about.
In addition to our future plans, when we got home we felt a sense of newness with our lives. We have grown so much over the last year as a family, as individuals, and as a couple. We have started to outgrow some friends and (maybe) our current neighborhood. It's time for a change. Not sure the full extend of our new beginning but in it we will leave behind some things and people while in search for new things and people to help continue our journey along side our Lord and Savior.
You never know where life will take you but when you get there you realize you could have left a few things behind... That's where we find ourselves, alittle overpacked. Time to empty our bags and repack what is necessary. :-)
