Okay, over the years it seems like we’ve had a lot of “big announcements!” From marriage, to pregnancies and births, to moves and job changes, we’ve loved sharing our news with all of you! And it looks like we’ve got another big announcement to share! It is with a mix of both sadness and excitement that we’d like to tell you that in a few weeks we will be moving to Colorado where Chris is going to pastor a church in Redstone – a beautiful mountain town on the western slope.
We have truly loved
living here in Kentucky! It’s been one
big adventure after another. We’ve
fallen in love with the Red River Gorge, hiked more trails than we can count,
kayaked in rivers and lakes, and a few of us have fallen head over heels for
rock climbing. (Okay, maybe just Sophia! Some of us are still a bit scared of
heights! By “some of us” I might just
mean me, but that’s beside the point!) Since moving here, we’ve been able to
see so much of the country on our great summer camping road trips! From Florida to Maine, to Wyoming and
back. We’ve had a lot of fun! And man,
this country has so much to see!
The kids have loved
being part of the Swimchester Sailfish swim team and have met some of the most
amazing kids you’ll ever know. Good kids
from good families! They’ve loved running
on their school’s cross country team.
Who knew that my little fish could run? And we’ve met some really incredible people
along the way! We’ve truly loved the
people of Stanton Christian Church and have loved getting to serve God alongside
you. You will all be greatly
missed.
That’s where the
sadness comes. It’s so hard to say
goodbye to so many wonderful people.
Thankfully, we’re really blessed with technology that allows us to stay
in touch so easily. Plus, we’re only going
to be about 21 hours away (or a few hours by plane). So just know you’ll always
have a place to stay if you ever want to head west and check out the Rocky
Mountains! They’re truly indescribable!
And now we’re
looking forward to our new home and the new adventures that await. We’re most excited about the new church family
that we’ve met in Redstone. You’ve been
so welcoming and kind, and we can’t wait for what the future holds!
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover.” ~
Mark Twain
