Tonight we had to say another goodbye to some of our very dear friends. Dan is leaving this week as he is ready to embark upon his new teaching job in Colorado Springs, Colorado! Katie gets to wait a month longer from now to join him there. She will have the chance to stay with us for awhile before she heads out to the majestic mountains! We are so excited for this awesome adventure in their lives and I know that God has so much to offer both of them! Unfortunately, I have to see another best friend go away. This is the epitome of bitter-sweet. I cannot wait to see what spectacular things God offers these two, but I am in my own carnal self, so sad to let go of another friend. I know I must let go in order to see my friends prosper and build their lives, but my heart aches that I cannot witness it first hand with my own two eyes! That being said, we were able to send Dan off with a little visit from many of their friends and family. Katie's parents, Grandma, Andy and Julie (Brother and Sis-in-Law), Aunts and Uncles, and countless friends were all able to attend. I think one of the best parts of this was getting to see Andy, Julie, and Caleb again! We love that they have moved a bit closer to us so we can see with them more often! Other than that we swam, ate, played games, talked, laughed, and showed our love to these two who have so wonderfully touched our lives and made them much more full and deep by knowing them. Although they will be sorely missed as they have been such a HUGE part of our lives for SO long, I cannot wait to see all of the fun and amazing things they will get to partake in out in Colorado. YAY! I cannot wait to plan my next trip out there to visit! Take a peek at some of the fun stuff we did tonight!
