Time to move on...

The girls had a great Halloween- even though it wasn't technically on the 31st here in Columbus. I guess they find it exciting to confuse everyone. But the weather was great, so I can't complain! The girls loved their costumes. Olivia wore tall boots with heels and refused to sit or wear a coat. I know her feet were hurting and she needed a coat, but I also know she wanted everyone to see her costume.



These are the sweet friends we trick or treated with. We are going to miss having them right across the neighborhood!



We officially rented our house today. A wonderful family came by yesterday and decided this was the one. We are so thankful. We got the lease agreement and check today. The movers come in 9 days! It is so soon, but honestly I am glad. I worry about when and what needs to get done. My stomach has been so nervous feeling all day today. And I have almost cried at random things. Like while watching the Razorbacks today. They cameraman panned the crowd and people were calling the hogs and looked they were having so much fun. I could feel my eyes tearing up- not b/c I want to be there, but b/c I am emotional- apparently- today. So anyway, the fact that it is coming so soon is better. Hopefully we will find a house this week in our new home town in Fort Worth, TX. Yeehaw! I will miss our house so much. It is wonderful and has been more than a blessing to us. I will miss the wonderful friends we have made here. They mean so much b/c we were miserable here before we had them. I will miss Graeter's ice cream, the cool summers, the lack of bugs, the beautiful sky (this sky has the biggest, fluffiest clouds I have ever seen), and apple picking. I am thankful we got to go one last time. And that weekend was our favorite picking time- Goldrush! Yum! I am amazed at how much Travis and I have grown since we've lived here. We've been through some incredibly hard times, but God has used them to grow us so much closer to him and to each other. I wouldn't trade one minute of what we have been through for this. It has been so fun to watch the girls grow here too. I think that will be sad for me to leave. So much of their life has been here. Annika was only 6 months old when we moved here and now she is 3 1/2.


Lynd's Fruit Farm- apple pickin' day

So, I will miss things about you OH. Not a lot of things, but the things I will miss will be hard to let go of. We'll be back, but we'll be wearin' boots when we return. :)
