We're entering a new phase at our house. It's a strange phase to be in where everything is "for the last time before we move." This last week was the annual Fun Run at our kids' school. Grandma and Grandpa were there (as usual) and it was hard not to think about how we will miss this yearly event. The kids love running with Grandma and Grandpa (how cool are their grandparents?) and it's something they look forward to all year.
We'll be slowly letting go of a lot of things in the coming weeks and months. It is a strange feeling really. Like being awake in a dream. It's not all sad though. Over the past few weeks as this new idea has begun to settle in to our hearts, we have felt peaceful and sure of our direction. We have also been blessed with so many kind words and heart-felt expressions of love and friendship. And, just when we start to feel a little overwhelmed or discouraged by all that lies ahead of us, there is an encouraging email in our inbox, a perfect message in an Ensign article or verse of scripture or inspiration in a made-for-us Mormon Message.
As they say in France:
"La vie est belle!"
Life is beautiful!

I LOVE the fun run... I will miss doing it with them every year. Let's plan our own yearly fun run in France when we come to visit!
And yes, life is beautiful.

I've been catching up on your last couple of posts to figure out where you are headed.
France, what an exciting adventure for your family. I will be checking up on your blog often to see how you all are doing.
Even though you haven't lived near us for a while I still like to check in on you guys through your blog. What a challenge to move so far away, but also what a great experience for you all. We have friends who live in Europe who are always telling us they need more strong saints there... and soon they'll be blessed to have you. Good luck!!
you guys are so cool...so excited for you and your adventure! And a temple in Paris?! Now that is cool...
