no title

i titled this entry "no title" because nothing really sums up how i feel. chapter ending? sadness and tears? new chapter? lonely?
we moved out of our apartment in St. Louis yesterday and into my parents house in nashville. we are on a temporary layover until we get to our final destination, Denver. we arent exactly sure when that will be, but hopefully by the beginning of fall.
packing up last week was a whirlwind and not a whole lot of time to be reflective. we had a few "lasts" with friends. last dinners, last tv watching together, last prayer group, last dinner out, last playdate (you get the idea).
I wrote this post right before we moved to st.louis. and this sentence is exactly how i feel again.
"but because we havent gotten to {denver} yet and experienced the joys there, all we are left with today is the sense of loss. tomorrow, i know we will feel different and the sense of loss will be slowly replaced with excitement and love for a new city."


there isnt much i can say again about this chapter closing in our lives that i havent said before. it was a wonderful season. a season of protection. a season of focusing in our family and watching our children grow. i mean, maggie was still sleeping in a crib when we moved. i just think its hard when you love a place so much, people so much, but know there is more ahead that you are called to. 


we are so happy to have this time in Nashville. time that the cousins can be together. cousin ellie has already spent the night twice. and man, she is such a helper! instead of US getting up at 5:45, she does! love it! we are so thankful that God saw fit to allow us such great friends and this season.
