In a few short weeks I will embark on yet another adventure with Bob. However, unfortunately I have to say goodbye to a lot of things as well.
Those goodbyes being, leaving Forest Grove FOREVER!!!! When I think back to when I first moved here, I had just had Jaxon, left Canada and my family for really the first time. I had never felt so alone in my entire life. Those first few weeks here were hard and I remember thinking I can't wait to leave this place! Now, I don't want to leave! Funny how time changes things. I have loved it here. My family has grown here in so many ways. I love how it is green all year round. I love the nicer weather. I love my running route under the BIG trees. I love my ward. I love that I have grown a lot here. I love my home. I love being able to go to the beach. I love picking fruit. I love just being outside here, it's beautiful. And last but not least, I have loved the people. They have made my time here pass by and I have met some pretty amazing ones. Without them, I think that those looooong days would have drug on for centuries!!! I feel very blessed to have had this experience in my life and to have been given the opportunity to meet and get to know these people. And I guess I never knew how much I would appreciate it, until it is almost finished.
On the other hand, in a few short weeks, I will be reunited with Bob and my 3 mos. of being a single mum will end, HOLLA (which is the excitement by the way)!!! We will move yet again and start a new adventure with the kids. I have mixed feelings about this, but I keep telling myself that it will be fine and we will have fun there too! I can't wait for him to be back and I know the kids can't either. Especially a certain little boy who asks daily for his dad and will not talk to him on the phone because he says "I just want him here with me." So I am counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds till he is home!
When I leave this lovely little place I have called home for three years, I will be leaving with fond memories, two children and a husband. So I guess in a lot of ways, the most important things are coming with me. Except everything that I listed above:)
