Transitions

Well, we have officially left San Antonio and started on our next adventure. We left last Tuesday after scrubbing the house clean, packing the cars completely full, donating perishable goods to sweet friends, cleaning up the yard, and walking through bedrooms saying goodbye to our first home. The kids were a little sad and eyes filled with tears as we drove away from San Antonio. We thank all of the good friends we have met there and shared good times with. We know our paths will cross again and we have been blessed by knowing you. Some friends we get to take with us and others we will see again. Thank you for the examples and influence you have been on our family. Anytime you want to visit us in Fabulous Las Vegas, you are more than welcome.
