Wow! In less than TWO weeks and we will be on our way back
to good ole’ Kansas. I am so incredibly excited to see our family and friends
when we return! (And also the cornfields!)
It’s going to be a little bittersweet leaving QC, though. As much as I am
looking forward to returning to a place of comfort where I know there will be
no miscommunications while trying to order a meal, find directions, or look for
something in a store – I sure will miss the beauty that is within the city of
Quebec!
And while one of the things I look forward to the most is
living on our own again, I will miss the loving family who took us in for the
summer. I won’t pretend like it wasn’t a pretty enormous adjustment to move
into a family with two kids after living by ourselves for two years (not to
mention their adjustment to having a married couple living with them!), but it has really been a
blessing to be a part of this Quebecois family.
I’d like to give a big thanks to our truly amazing friends:
the Drahotas! While being in a different country, immersed in a different
language, and surrounded by quite a few cultural differences, it has been nice
to have them just a video-call away! Without our sometimes tri-weekly Skype
dates with them, it is safe to say that we would be leaving a little less sane
than we are. J
Seriously, though - we are really looking forward to moving to the Sabetha area! We have been
blessed with so many incredible friendships at NorthRidge, and we look forward
to meeting a lot of new ones. I can barely contain my excitement that we will
be surrounded by the loving people of the church we came to know Christ in for over
FOUR months! Not to mention that we will be living much closer to all of my
family! I can’t wait.
We love you all. We are so truly blessed to have you all in our
lives, and for those who we haven’t met already – we really look forward to it!
When you're moving back in, make sure you call us. Anthony would love to help move furniture and such and I'd be happy to provide a meal and company.
ReplyDeleteVERY excited that you guys are going to be around this fall!!!! I'm sure there will be many late nights at the Drahotas!!!! :) Praying that your last 2 weeks goes well as well as the trip back to KS.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies! Randi - I hear the house should have almost everything we need so luckily we shouldn't have to do too much moving! After coming to Canada for 3 months with only clothes, I am hoping I don't talk myself into moving more stuff than I need there! But we will definitely recruit Anthony if we need any help. :) Either way, I look forward to getting together and catching up!
ReplyDeleteKait - I can't even imagine. I guess the thought of having some late nights should convince me to bring my coffee maker when we move and maybe even buy some coffee with caffeine in it. :)
or you could just drink one of Jason's monsters.....haha! :D
