After one short year we are preparing once again to pack up the entire contents of our little lives and to move. Where are we off to this year you may ask? We don't know... yet.
Tyler has accepted a position as a first officer flying for American Eagle and starts his 6-8 week training in Dallas on July 18th. Hopefully by the end of his first week we will have an assigned base. Then we will be able to start making official plans for our move.
In the meantime, we are working frantically to pack and prepare our possessions for storage. Since our lease is up at the end of the month it seemed to make little sense for Elizabeth and I to stay here while Tyler is off in Dallas so she and I will live as gypsies for a while staying with family here and there.
I am sad, anxious, excited and overwhelmed at the prospect of leaving Midland. We have been truly blessed to with genuine friends and a fantastic ward family. It breaks my heart to leave to them behind. When we moved here a member of our ward told us that the only reason people move to Midland is for a job and the only reason they stay is for the people. How true that is! We have been blessed to live among some of the kindest, most friendly, loving people we have ever know. The friends we have made and the people we have come to know here, members of our faith and not, truly exemplify the meaning of the word saints.
We will miss those we are leaving behind and yet are so excited for this new chapter of our lives. We have been so fortunate and blessed. So here's to boxes, bubble wrap, and tape-- On to a new adventure!
