"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

enjoying our last evening...

...in the area, that is. Tomorrow we are moving to Michigan! It is so hard to believe that it is finally here, after a year and a half of praying about this. Time is flying by, which reminds me just how short this life is. Nathan and I were talking with our good friends Keith and Alisa last night about the future. It is crazy to think that probably in 60 years, I will have already stood before the throne of God and I will be in Heaven. 60 years! That is so short! What a reminder to NOT waste my life! Sigh. It was a very convicting conversation for me.

Anyway........we went out on the town to celebrate our last night here. One last bike ride (although we are taking our bikes to MI with us to hopefully enjoy many more bike rides!) This picture that I took was a little risky...Nathan was kind of worried that I would run into a sign:) Here is Nathan, the superdad! I think if there was any way for him to carry Layla, he would willingly take all 4 of our kids on his bike!


But here is a shot of Layla, on the back of my bike. Another risky picture to take:) I quit taking pictures after this one.


Our last time at Dairy Sweet. What a cute, although kind of tacky, ice cream place! We love going there:) As you can see, so do the kiddos!

Layla loooooves ice cream!


Halle with her lemon "beard"


So tomorrow is the big day! Our start on this new journey! I will try to take pictures so you can all see our new place:)
