saying goodbye
embarking on our adventure is bittersweet. i can’t think of much that is more exciting than the opportunity to go to a foreign country in a situation where so little is determined ahead of time. as exciting as this opportunity is, it is still difficult to leave. flagstaff has been my home for nearly 20 years. of course it’s not flagstaff that is so difficult to leave. it is the friends and family that is tough to leave. i have so many memories with so many of my friends and family in this mountain town. this is where i grew up. this is where my life fell apart many times and each time i got to see God bring it all back together. this is the place where all of my friends and family live. this is the place where i met my wonderful wife. as sad as i am to leave, i am comforted by the fact that i will be able to keep in touch. it is wonderful to know that as i leave my home town i do not have to leave the relationships or the memories.
I’ll miss you guys! I hope you have a WONDERFUL time and I’ll be thinking of you often. Best wishes until our paths cross again
love Sierra
Good luck you guys! We hope you have a great flight and love it there. We are going to miss you a ton though.
I was more than bummed that I couldn’t see you all off properly…not to “overshare”, but being a good husband came screaming to the forefront of the evening. So – it is with great excitement that I write this; I can’t wait to see the other side of God you have never experienced here. He will show himself anew – I look forward to seeing that side of God through your posts and future conversations. Godspeed, friends.
