This last week has certainly been a whirlwind of insanity, to say the least. As I write this, I am already in California.
The last three years have been a real time of growth for me personally, as well as for our little (growing) family. Little did we know that being sent to Altus would be a blessing in disguise. Sure we went kicking and screaming. I mean, don't most people? But, We found a fabulous support system there. Wonderful friends and a really great community that will both be missed. Am I excited to be closer to our families and in a big city again? You bet! But I also know you'll never forget those who touched your lives while you were there.
Madilyn and I both were very blessed with such a great group of girlfriends. I mean, who would have thought we'd all have babies at the same time and we'd all have girls? Then, to make it better, who would have thought we would all "mesh" so well? Madilyn is still talking about Maddy, Bella, and Eva. I know that even at just two years old, they made a difference in her life too.
I know this post is all over the place. I guess I'm not very good at keeping my thoughts together today. Just wanted to thank you girls for everything and wish you the best. I certainly hope our paths will cross again someday. So, as I was once told.....in the military it is never "goodbye" but always "see you later". You never know where you'll end up next.
We all had a great time in our final days. Here is a short video of the girls laughing and playing together (as always!) the day before we left.
And here is one of us mamas (we're missing Tara, she had already left for her summer vacation).
