So long... farewell

The past couple weeks have been wild!
With Shawn starting his 2nd year of school
Jefferson starting Kindergarten
Moving and all that goes with that headache
Reagan's procedures
Grant's Dr. appointments and surgery
and me researching local mental institutions for myself....
I totally forgot to say goodbye

So, goodbye little house we loved so much!

Goodbye to these lovely amenities who I will miss dearly every week.

Goodbye garage

Goodbye to the greatest neighbors ever. (But not for good because we built a lifelong relationship)
Goodbye good friends
Goodbye to shopping centers so close by, (Shawn thinks it's a blessing)
Goodbye to the elementary school behind our house where Jefferson was going to attend

Goodbye to the best parks I've ever been to... and the one right down the street

Goodbye to the trail I would run on

Goodbye to some awesome fireworks shows in our neighborhood

Goodbye to the Air Show that entertained us out our front door
Goodbye backyard

Goodbye to a church we loved and to the 5 5year old boys Shawn taught in Sunday School
Goodbye to our garden we planted and wasn't quite ripe enough to eat

Adios, Ciao, Au revoir
Really, I didn't want to leave.... Shawn had to drag me kicking and screaming from the house. It wasn't anything spectacular, but we built a little life there over the past year and a half. I get attached to places and I never want to move. This is how it's been with every move we've made… I don't think I can ever love another place as much. (with the exception of Rexburg… I was begging to leave!) With that perspective in mind, I realize in time I will love Forest Grove. I will be raving about how awesome it is and how I could never leave… unless someone drags me kicking and screaming.
