We're moving...

back to California!
Our family is heading back to the west coast, where Tommy will be opening his own dental practice in Kingsburg. We are SO excited! If there is anything I have learned over the past few years, with all the moves we have made, it is that we are SO NOT IN CONTROL, as well as learning to accept change. If I had many more hours to write the detailed ways the Lord has directed our steps I would. But for now, Ill just say that He has. And not just that. He has directed us faithfully. And we are beyond thankful. Mostly because we don't deserve it, but we are confident in His great love for us.
So back to Cali we go. We are moving at the end of June. Tommy's practice will, lord willing, open around the first of August. So...if any of y'all want a GREAT dentist... ;)
With all of the excitement we have, we also have a great deal of sad emotions. We really will MISS Austin. This place is so great. The people are so great. Family life here is so great...I actually came up with a little nickname for the area, "The land of the mini van". No joke.
The food here is so great. And on, and on, and on...
We really will miss everything. But part of the greatness of how God works, is Him revealing to us that He doesn't want us here anymore. And with that comes a great sense of peace. So, yes we are sad to leave but at PEACE that the Lord really does want us in Kingsburg. And for that we are grateful.
I plan on doing a separate detailed post on the specifics of what exactly we will miss...as well as a few "things" we will not :)
Look forward to more posts about our "lasts" here in Austin.

Oh, and here are a few family pictures we had taken to sort of "document" our time here.
