Goodbye to Northwest Arkansas. After 5 years we call this place home! A place where we made forever friends and raised our beautiful family. As I have been preparing to leave this home this place I love for the new and the unknown a dear friend read this poem to me that sums up my feelings. (Thank you Valerie for sharing this with me. ) Thank you to all the people who helped to make the last 5 years so happy for us!
I would not think alone to leave
this fertile valley. I know the harvest
here, know the seasons . . .
But I place my hand with my husband's
in Thine, and together we board . . .
In stone's light I kneel with my loves,
these few treasures come with me
toward the land my countrymen declare
does not, cannot exist. And yet,
we are driven,
wind tossed, over the horizon, beyond,
and there, pushed by furious storm--
There is our promise! There, our spring!
From earthen far I take
next year's harvest, confident
I too will blossom
where planted by God's hand.

We are so sad for us, but so happy for you! Can't wait to see what your life is like in Seattle. You will be missed. Hope to see you in Utah!
I didn't know you guys were moving either!! Any chance you will make one last OKC trip before you move?! We will miss playing with your sweet kiddos!! You'll have to update me on all the exciting changes headed your way!!
Seattle?! That's so exciting! Maybe we can add a little seafood to that steak dinner I (we) still owe you guys!
