cardboard boxes and a laptop


(hope, beau, maylee, erika, jhon)
well, we are just about ready to hit the road and head to north carolina. we are pretty much packed except the essentials. i finished up work yesterday and mandy is done today, we've got a few good bye dinners, a wedding and family time and then we are outta here. we leave on tuesday sometime.
i never thought i would miss lakeland that much, i could never wait to leave, but now my heart is heavy.

for me lakeland was a huge part of my life, because i feel like i found myself and figured out who i was. i have had some great memories, my most favorite is meeting mandy almost three year ago... crazy. but ive got some crazy good friends here too. im really going to miss all our friends at vine; the past year and a half with them was really good, they really welcomed us, and we had some good times. im glad i get to worship and play with them one last time tomorrow. this week has been a week of goodbyes, i still got a few on the list though.

mandy and i were talking about it the other day, lakeland was our starting point, its where we found each other, got our first job, our first apartment, we have a lot of sweet memories woven into this awkwardly humad and 'redneck' town.

im really excited for jduke and saralynn and their marriage later this year, and chirs and his band, and what god is doing in lief and audra. there are so many people i am going to miss and would like to mention so here is thier names all at once hlcadadamjoshderekbraddanathehamicscolton!

i posted a picture of my siblings, ive been thinking about them alot, i dont see them very much, and my mom keeps me updated through facebook about them. they are growing so much, and changing (mostly the columbian ones). they are super fun and really sweet. i had a little free time and i just wanted to post a little thoughts about where we are at now....

i am thankful for the places that we have been and excited for the places that we'll go, ive moved so much my life can fit in a few cardboard boxes and inside a laptop, i kinda like it that way. next post will be of our trip to NC.

ps. 37:23--Th elord directs the steps of the godly. he delights in every detail of their lives. amen
