3 1/2 weeks left!

I honestly cannot say I thought we were this close to moving. Chris has given his notice at work, we've rented the truck, packed lots of stuff (lots left to pack), and been released from our nursery calling (we are speaking in church next week too). To be honest I have to say that it is getting harder for me to leave. we have been so blessed here. I never thought I would ever live in Vegas let alone enjoy it.
The closer I get the sadder and more excited I get. I read a friends facebook post who when she was moving said she's not crying she just has allergies. So I'm totally copying that. I will not miss the 115 heat that has been around this week and looks to be here longer. But I will miss my wonderful friends. I have made some of the best friends ever here and It breaks my heart to leave them. We have the most wonderful ward in the world. I truly understand what the meaning of a ward family is. I could never say enough thank you's for the wonderful people you are and the great service you have provided for our family. We will miss the Valle Verde ward.
On the other hand we are excited to start a new adventure (as some wonderful people call it). We are excited to play in the snow, to enjoy some more outdoor time, and experience all new things in a few weeks. Hopefully I will get better in updating (time will tell right). we have our new address, email if you want it. Hopefully we will get a new phone number sometime in the next month or so.
So soon we are off on our brand new adventure! (this might call for a new blog title!)

I'm sad to see you go. Not only because you're moving some 1500 miles away but because your new adventure involves law school and right now I HATE law school and especially the Bar. Good luck to you and Chris both. (I think it will be worth it.) :) Keep posting so I can see those awesome kids of your continue to grow up!

Good luck with all of the packing... sorry we don't live close by so that we can help. We're missing you in NY, right now!

Karen, good luck with your move and new adventure. Good luck to Chris (and you) during law school. I'm sure it will be a challenging/rewarding experience for your family! I guess we never did hook up in Vegas!
