Coming Home

If you haven't heard already we are coming home! Yep we are moving back to Kennewick. We thought we would be around for another year but for many different reasons we have decided it is time to come back.

After almost 20 months of living in Canada I sit and look back at the adventure God had us on. It gave the girls the opportunity to live in another country, one that really isn't a whole lot different from the US. It gave each of us a new appreciation for culture differences. We learned a lot from our friends here and look at these differences in a way I think Jesus Himself would see them.

We got to see some parts of the world that we most likely would not have seen. Like~ a great lake, Toronto, New York City, the girls getting to meet my cousins and aunt and uncle in New Jersey, DisneyWorld and many different parts of Ontario.

We met many people who have influenced our lives in many different ways. The friendships the girls made. The career experience Matt got working at a Nuclear Power Plant. And so much more....

But the time has come. God has showed us in such amazing ways that it is time. I know He has something big and wonderful for us in our future. Each place He brings us to He prunes and grows us in a way only He can.

So, to our Canadain friends thank you for letting us be apart of your lives for a short time. We will miss you dearly but I know through email and facebook we will keep a connection.

To our friends and family back home. We can't wait to see you and spend more time being with you on a regular basis.

We're so excited to have all of you so close once again!
We'll definitely make more of an effort this time to visit. Emily really misses her cousins. :)

I informed my parents that you and your family will be moving home. They are so excited! It'll be good to have you back in Washington, but yes, you will be missed in Canada I'm sure! Many blessings to you as you follow God's leading :-)
