Moving to Colorado

Darling Girl,

What a year it has been...there have been so many amazing moments. Daddy and I have lived in Austin for two years now and we made the big decision to move to Colorado. It is very bittersweet, as we love so many things about where we are now.

We love our wonderful neighbors, the Boltons, we love our house...the house where we made you and brought you home from the hospital. We love having all our family close by. We love having our friends nearby. We love your first teacher, Lyn, who has developed such a special relationship with you.

But sometimes, God calls you forth for a bigger purpose, and being dutiful servants, we must listen and obey. The Lord has called us to Colorado. We were there the year before you were made, and daddy had his dream job. I think the Lord believes we are not done with our work there, so he is leading us back West. We know this will be an amazing adventure, as we have family and great friends there. Not to mention an incredible background that we can play in, hike in, camp in, swim in, ski in, and oh so much more.

We are happy to have made you in Austin, TX and brought you into a world where all those near and dear to our hearts were there to watch you grow this year. We know our family and friends will come visit us in Colorado, and we will travel back to Austin to spend time with our village here.

Daddy and I bought a house on Collinsville Place, very close to our cousins the Kolleths. We will raise you here and add to our family there. This next place will most likely be where your first memories are formed. And mommy and daddy want them to be great memories. We strive to lead extraordinary lives. We think Colorado, Valor Christian High School, and all the opportunities the Lord is putting in our path will lead us to extraordinary destinations in this life.  We will be able to serve God and our community more than we could have ever imagined. As a mother, that is all I could ask for, is our family be together, to be healthy, to be happy, and to be serving the Lord.

We move in about three weeks and are trying to spend quality time with those we hold closest to our hearts before we embark on this new chapter of our lives.

We hope you'll always know where you came from and how special Austin, Texas is to our family.

We love you little Austinite.

Love,
Mommy
