as i write this, my sister Anna and her family are driving to their new home in north carolina :( i am so happy for them... happy for Caleb and his great new job; happy that they will be living in the state that Anna absolutely loves; happy for their new journey and their courage to leave the familiar and start a brand new chapter in their life. but as happy as i am for them, i am equally just as sad... sad that i really do not know when i will see them next, sad that i won't have my sister just a short walk away, sad that our kids won't grow up together, sad that my kids will not have the pleasure of such a phenomenal aunt to go and see on a regular basis. she is truly one of a kind :)
on a lighter note, thank goodness for cell phones and email because i know we'll be taking full advantage of the two from here on out. and who knows, maybe we'll head up their way one day too! no plans for that of course, but one thing we've all learned over the last year is that anything is possible and we really never know what God has in store for us.
