1 more week in AZ!

Well, we've only got one more week in AZ! We're loading the moving van next weekend, and my dad and I start the 4 day trip Monday, the 28th. It's hard to believe I've been in Phoenix for 8 years. That's like 1/3 of my life. Wow. It seems like just yesterday that my family moved here from Florida.

Though I'm really looking forward to this move, I've really enjoyed my time here. It was here I really grew out of my sheltered little bubble and discovered who I was. I've made a lot of great friendships over the years and have some great memories. I'll never forget my 1st Christmas in the desert, my 1st car, being involved with the Vineyard, seeing my drumming skills grow, leading worship for my small group, meeting Sarah & our hot outdoor November wedding, our first dog, my classes & classmates at PVCC, developing a love for history, being a part of Oneplace, the occasional trip to Rocky Point, camping on the Rim, my 1st pipe, buying my 1st beer kit, and our son Aidan's birth. A lot of great stuff crammed into 8 years.

Sure, we've got our fears about this new phase and place we're entering into, but God has proven Himself faithful thus far, and we believe He'll really bless us up in Rochester. So this week, we'll be packing up the last of our stuff. We could sure use some help loading the van on Saturday, so come by and give us a hand if you're free. Pizza and beer will be provided! Thanks AZ for all the great memories! The next blog I write will be from NY!
