MOVING OUT!

WOW!  How did that happen so fast?  It seems like the pages of our lives keep turning so quickly and just like that, we are on the verge of yet another chapter of our lives ending.  Tomorrow we head out once again to move a child to North Carolina, but this time to Charlotte.  If you would have told us seven months ago we would now have two children living in North Carloina I don't think we would have believed you.)  Although we are so SUPER excited for Zachary I know when we pull away from our driveway early tomorrow morning there will be many mixed emotions as our son moves many miles away.  Through his college years we got very used to him popping in once a month for a good meal and a visit.  Now Zachary has been home with us 3 1/2 months and we have been very used to our times of connecting, hanging out, and doing life together.  Wow!  Are we going to miss him.  So as I sit here writing this the streams of tears are flowing freely as this chapter comes to an end.
     To you our dear son Zachary, we are extremely proud of you and all your hard work.  You had to work hard to keep paying the bills through college as well as keep excelling in school  You had much time to build a lot of character.  But we are also very proud of you and the man of God you have become.  We are 100% confident that God is leading and directing you to North Carolina and we know he has amazing things in store for you. I know you won't miss my camera and all the times and way I would try to get you to smile for a picture.  (You got very good at smiling with your eye, as you would say.)  But know as you move away that distance will not stop your mom and dad from continuing to cheer you on in life.  We will be thinking and praying for you every day!  Keep walking this life of faith!
