Saying good-bye...

It feels like a chapter has closed in our lives and we are moving on to the next chapter in our lives...it was a very tearful good-bye as many hugs were given to 7 Germain kids and to my friends, Joe and Jennifer. I know this is the right step and we are moving in the right direction, but pulling apart can be so painful. I am so glad that I got the opportunity to go to Davao with Joe and Jenn, to see their new house, the school, church, and just a little bit of what their lives are going to look like in Davao, apart from the Veldstras! Such a change for all of us. We are going to miss the close community we had with them...sharing our lives...the ups and downs, the good and the, uh, not so good, but somewhere in all of that was always lots of laughter! Two families, 13 kids, 2,000sq ft house, who would have ever thought it could work out so well?! We are all looking forward to whatever God has next for all of us and so thankful for all that He has brought us through!
