I had no intentions of writing a blog tonight. I should be finishing my packing and going to sleep. However Anthony told me tonight when I was packing the kids things that I should write another blog similar to this one.
This really won't be it.
I found it interesting because I did not think he really read my blog. As I sit here I am not even sure what is going to come out. I usually have a starting point when I sit to write or at least a point I want to hit.
I can say Louisiana has been so good to us. We are not going back to Oklahoma the same people we were when we moved to Louisiana. I think we've grown, blossomed, experienced, loved, tried and survived our way through. We've gone through hard things here. God has his reasons it wasn't easy to get to the place to be able to say that. I can though for that I am thankful! We've been happy here. We will be happy there and happiest in the center of God's will which I totally believe is Oklahoma for our near future.
Even as I sit here I don't think it has sunk in we are moving back. I know that I have spent the last week saying good-bye's to everyone that has meant so much to us here in Louisiana. I know that we had dinner with an awesome group of our church family tonight and that I didn't want to let go of them. I know that I cried 1/2 way home until I decided to make a phone call to another friend whom I hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to yet. Really though the idea of being in Oklahoma just still seems like a far away dream.
I know it's coming true tomorrow but I think the heartache of leaving behind people who mean so much to me takes front row for tonight.
So see you later friends thanks for being so great to our family!
As I said in the blog on May 10th
"I do realize that some current relationships will grow stronger, some will remain similar to now and some will wither away. The distance will make it harder to maintain relationships but the one's who love us and we love will be important enough for the extra effort! "
It was true than and I still feel the same way. . .The distance will make it harder to maintain relationships but the one's who love us and we love will be important enough for the extra effort!!!
