Bittersweet cont.

Last night we attended a goodbye party hosted by our church life group. We are definitely sad to be leaving this group of wonderful people. It is amazing how you can move to a town and not know a soul and then attend a church and find community through a small group of complete strangers. Our weekly Sunday get togethers have been so encouraging and have seen us through many ups and downs.

We have so many fond memories with this group. We will always remember the ski trip to Snow Shoe where I skied for the first time. Attending Melissa and David's wedding in Charleston. The backpacking trip to Linville Gorge where so many trees were down that the trail was almost impossible to traverse {and then having to hike almost vertically out of the gorge on day two, in the rain}. The weird fact that EVERY TIME Tim asked us to go backpacking with him {after the Linville Gorge trip}, something terrible would happen that would prevent us from going (example 1: Daniel cutting his leg with a chainsaw; example 2: we had car trouble at the last minute and couldn't go; example 3: I had a blood clot and ended up in the hospital for a week).

We have truly enjoyed getting together on a weekly basis and laughing and eating good food and sharing our lives through our common beliefs. We are excited to be joining Chris and Courtney in Chattanooga, but we will miss all of you.
