Last Tuesday, we had to say good bye to everyone in Utah as we headed onto our new adventure in Texas! Josh and I went on for weeks, maybe even months trying to decide where we thought we be the best place for us to be. After a few surprises, prayers and thoughts, we finally decided Houston!! Leaving was really hard for us, and still sometimes hard! I think it helps that it feels a little like home, so it almost feels like a vacation! Lots of mixed emotions but it seems like each day it does get better. Our families planned a surprise party for us a few days before we left with lots of friends and family! As hard as it was walking up knowing it was everyone saying good-bye it was really neat to have everyone there. Thank you everyone for your efforts to be there, We Love you all and Miss you!!
Josh has been there I would say close to everyday since the day Collin was born. They have been each others buddies! They love and adore each other! It was really hard for Josh, and surprising Collin understood more than we thought, and was hard for him. We got a text about 15 minutes after we left and they couldn't find Collin he was under his bed crying because he missed his uncle Joshy!!
We thought we needed a picture of the apartment we brought Lincoln home to, so one day when we take him to see it and it looks even more ghetto than it does now he wont be too ashamed.
I can only imagine how hard that would be. However, I'm sure you'll make millions of new friends in Texas as well :) That story about Josh and his nephew is heartbreaking! Hope you get to visit them all often!
ReplyDeletek i totally cried when i read this post! i love you guys so much and miss you!
ReplyDeleteJacks I teared up reading that part about Collin :( I can't believe we won't see yall unless we come to Houston, maybe we'll just have to make that happen. We didn't see yall that often but feel like you left us too. Another chapter opens and i hope it's awesome for yall.
ReplyDeleteAw how cute! I'm sure Collin will be calling you guys often. Congrats on the move. I can testify to how much harder it is to leave P-town than you would think it is. But Houston will be amazing! I just know it ;)
ReplyDeletePoor Collin! That breaksmy heart.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute but also sad story about Collin and Josh. So sad that we missed you guys before you took off. I hope that everything is going great for you all in Texas. Jake, Banger and I were talking and we think that we should make a trip to come see you guys sometime. we think it would be fun. Good luck with the unpacking and the new adventure that awaits you.
ReplyDeleteWe were sad we missed you too. August goes to texas every year maybe you guys can get together. It should be early november. Congrats on the baby we are excited for you, we want another baby soon too. I set my blog to private so if you want to look at it give me your email address. August wanted to me to tell Josh that he loves him and misses him. In a manly way of course. lol
ReplyDeleteSo my mom was passing by the computer and we were in the middle of telling her something, but the moment she saw your blog on the screen she started asking "who is that cute baby? He is so cute! He is the cutest thing!" And forget about finishing the story, she was totally gaga over Lincoln!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys made it out there safe and sound. Miss you!
