I shouldn't be blogging right now. I have so much I "should" be doing.
(BIG Sigh....) I love this time of year! Fall is by far my favorite season. I love the unexpected coolness in the air and the wind in the trees. I'm just thinking about change and life and a bunch of other things.
I am so thankful that seasons change. We are on the brink of a new season ourselves as we plan to make our way back to my home state of AZ. I am so moved by the good and kind people we have met here. I will miss them so much. They have made us feel very loved and we will never forget them. We've made friends that we will always be in touch with. I am sad that I won't get to watch their children grow like I thought I would. I am sad that I only get to go to one more MOPS meeting. I'm sad that we won't be in our "normal spot" on Sunday mornings after October. I'm sad that I won't be able to visit one of my absolute favorite places in the whole world, Downtown Charleston, whenever I want.
I am excited, though, that my parents will get to see my children grow like they hoped they would. I'm excited to connect with a new (actually my old) community and see how God wants us to serve there. I also am excited to wake up to mountains, open air, cactus and the land I know as home. I am trusting that God wouldn't ask us to give up so much great stuff here if He didn't have something somehow better planned there. I realize it's probably not all going to be as I think it "should be". But I trust that it will be good and actually better than my own plans.
I'm getting ready for a new season.

Jaime! Did your house sell? I didn't know you were moving already. Yay for you, that you are able to live out your dream. Now if only I could move back home...
Jaime I am so sad to see you go! I am used to being the one who moves away, it is a little strange to have a friend moving away instead. I know that God has an awesome plan for your life in AZ. You will learn and grow from the experience, and it will truly be a blessing!!!
Jaime! I didn't even know you guys were moving back to AZ. Where exactly will you be going? DId Caleb get a new job? I'm so lost! I am excited though that you'll be back in the west!
