See Ya Later and New Beginnings

As most of you know already we are on the move again.....hopefully for the last time (Lord willing). We are moving back to Lexington SC, so it is nice to go back to an area that we have lived before and know. I can say I am a little excited about being back in a big town and not have to drive so far for a Walmart or Target trip. :) Plus it is nice to have more than 3 options for eating out!

We made our move to our temporary apartment while our house is being built. We moved last weekend, but before we left we had a farewell cookout with our neighbors. I have to say out of all the places we have lived, here we have had the BEST neighbors ever! They have become great friends and their kiddos have been wonderful friends to our girls.

Me and my girl Amy....we spent many of evenings and weekends hanging outside chatting away while the kids play. She could always entertain me with her stories from work. :) 
 The rest of the gang hanging out by the bonfire.
 Our chefs for the evening Brock and Jason...well Jason said he was just supervising and he did it so well.
 Little Jordan....chowing down on something. :)
 Some of the girls friends...Ellie and Mariah.
 Roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. We actually had wonderful weather all week but on Saturday it decided to turn cold, well cold for the beach is was like 40. :)

 Before we left out for Lexington we stopped by Christina and Jason's house to say good by. Christina has been my running buddy for the past 6 months or so and I am gonna miss having her to keep me going. :) They have two of the cutest little girls Alexy and Amelia. The girls had to have a photo opt with Alexy before we left. I love that they are like stair steps in height.

 Katie also had one last sleep over with her BFF Kelsey. The last week we were in town she was gone to Disneyworld. They both made me and Kelsey's mom tear up when they were saying good bye. I gave them both a picture frame with a picture of them in it so they could keep in their rooms. These two girls were meant to be friends that's for sure...they are like two peas in a pod.
After all of the emotional good-byes we drove over to Lexington to get settled. The girls have been at their new school now for a little over a week. Here is the school. They have great teachers and they seem to really love it and have made friends fast...never doubted that they would though.
This is a picture of our land we are building on....can't you just imagine the house. hehe :) So, not much to look at now, but the just finished pouring the foundation and will start framing either this week or next. So excited to see it start coming together and can't wait to move in.


We have also visited a church here that we like, going to go back next week. The girls loved all the stuff they had for kids. That is a big plus for them. As always in each move we know the Lord has lead to where we are at for a reason so we are just waiting for Him to guide to where we need to be. Stayed tuned for more post on the house as it progresses. :)

So glad to see another post!! Keep them coming.

Wow when you said you were building a house I had no idea there was nothing built yet. Good luck. You have more patience than me. :)

Glad you found such good friends in NC. I am sure you will make new ones again fast. Just sucks to start over.
