Moving And Memories

A few days after my last post on this blog our family had a major shift take place in our lives. For nearly five years we made wonderful memories in Fayetteville, NC and met some of the best people we'll ever have the good fortune to encounter. Our chance to head West and live closer to family didn't come at the most opportune time possible, but we knew it was the right decision and would offer each of us a chance to stretch ourselves and rely on Heavenly Father for assistance and comfort. They packed us up on November 11th which is Ryley's birthday. We celebrated as the house got boxed and placed onto a truck. The next morning we all headed for Colorado Springs, stopping along the way to enjoy one of our favorite museums from our time living in St. Louis. We arrived in the Springs four days later safe and sound, grateful we had been watched over every step of the way. My oldest sister just happens to live in Denver so we were able to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving with her awesome family. Some of our very best friends from med. school days also happen to live just one mile from our new home. Amazing family and friends already "built in" as we adapt to our new lives here in beautiful Colorado. Tender mercies.
