An update on our move and Tallahassee Reflections

These first 6 months of life with a baby, have been even more of an adventure than I ever could have imagined! Everyday is new and different and always holds opportunity for a new learning curve. And now having just moved to a new city (Longwood, Fl), away from the comfort of a familiar place and away from many people that we know and love, our adventure has soared to new levels!

My initial reaction to the move was that of peace amidst the storm and stress of the actual logistics of moving. Then there was our last church service at ENT, while I still had peace that we were following God's will, i felt my first rush of sadness as I realized that our time in Tally, was quickly coming to an end. Our years spent in Tallahassee, both together and apart, were some of the most amazing years of our lives. It was the place where we both began wholeheartedly serving Jesus, the place where eternal relationships were built, the place where Casey and I found each other, the place where we were married, the place we me made our first home and the place we had our first child. So many firsts and all of them miraculous and life changing. Tallahassee will forever be a place we call home. 

Although my heart is now starting to feel sad as I reminisce on all of our wonderful memories of our lives in Tally, I have an excitement for the adventure and blessings God is bringing our way. I know that our obedience to move was not in vain and that God has a purpose and destiny for us in Orlando. I am thankful that I am now able to stay home with Samantha and that I get to play and active full time role in her life and development. And beyond that I am not sure what God has in store for us, but whatever it is I know it will be great because He is so faithful!!

To everyone in Tally we miss you so much and love so much! We were sad to leave, but we look forward with excitement, because we know our relationships are going to grow even stronger in the years to come!  

OK now that I have gotten that off my chest, our current status in Orlando is: almost everything unpacked and put into place, grocery store, target, mall and a few yummy restaurants located,  cable and Internet set, Queen size blow up mattress for our future guests, got it! And as of tomorrow , we will have attended our first Sunday service at HighPoint and our first get together, a Super Bowl Party!

Well that is all for now, but I do plan to be more faithful to this blog. So please check back for more updates !
