What a year will do!!!

it's been a year since we took this picture and left our friends there in bellflower. and we miss them all so! it's a great thing to miss people we love...i would much rather have it that way than not miss anyone at all. we have traveled a lot of miles, in cars and in planes, seen a lot of faces...new and old, and in my opinion...experienced too many "new" things for one year! i think we are all a little exhausted as we look back on what we have come through but i am writing to cheer ourselves on! tomorrow greg and i have an 8th anniversary! we made it! tomorrow gavin graduates from kindergarten! he and we made it! tomorrow signifies the beginning to summer and one more unit left in language! we are making it! this year has been so hard but i am rejoicing today that we have not been left to do it on our own...we would not be rejoicing if that had been the case!! God has stepped in and held us the whole way...we have a huge support system of friends and family who care enough to stand with us as well...community is such an important factor in our lives and we want you all to rejoice with us as we celebrate tomorrow!
