Two months from today we will leave Texas. The countdown has begun. In many ways we will be SO GLAD to leave. We will be happy to be done with Dave's fellowship most of all. It has been a miserable year of training, though valuable for all he has learned. Today the call schedule was emailed for May and I thought "one more call schedule email". Many similar thoughts run through my head, "one more rent check" "9 more times to take out the trash" "8 times to teach music in primary" "3 more weekends off with Dave to do fun things" (only three because Lexey and I will be out of town for one of the weekends he is off and one of the weekends we'll be loading the truck.)
We have definitely loved our Houston home. We love the neighborhood, neighbors, flat streets to ride bikes and roller blade on, slow paced way of life we've adopted. It is great. We will be sad to leave for many reasons. The kids are starting to realize that their friends are here and that as much as they were excited to hear that we are going back to SD they are going to be devastated to leave. Since our friends are in the neighborhood we have unlimited play dates. It is kind of unfortunate that we only have friends over in SD when there is a formal play date planned. Here the kids can just step outside and play. It reminds me of my childhood, playing with all the kids nearby.
Of course we are also super excited to be done with fellowship, done with training, having the month of July off to hang out as a family. We will be glad to be back to the SD weather, the friends and family we have there (although it will NOT be the same to move back and not have Pete and Jessica there. boo hoo.)
All in all, it will be a bittersweet move in two months.
