We Are Moving…

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Yes. It is true. I considered a more quippy title for this post, but I figured a straightforward headline might actually draw the attention of my many friends and contacts. I mean. Let’s be honest. There are only a faithful few who actually read my wordy explorations of the heart. I am grateful for those few, but I wanted to get this news out to a few more of you than usual. So here you are. Reading. I win!

So, yes. We are bidding farewell to Los Angeles in just about three weeks, and we will be returning to beloved Seattle, the beautiful city from which we came. We’re excited to go and see what adventures lie ahead, but with new seasons come goodbyes (or at least, see-ya-laters) that ache. These new developments have sent me into an even more reflective space than usual, and I have to say I am beyond grateful for the friends we’ve made here. It has been a rich and full experience to find community in such a chaotic city. With cheesy fanfare I proclaim this the city of angels…real ones that have impacted our lives and family forever.

With so little time left, we may have to get a little creative to see everyone we can face-to-face before our departure on December 18th. Whether you think we are relationally close or not close, please know I’m interested in seeing you. Consider inviting yourself over or meeting up with us at the few events we’ll be attending in the next few weeks. I mean it. If you’re interested in helping us with some of the necessary evils of moving, we’re open to volunteers during our last week. With our three little people, it just might be a bit interesting.

For Seattle friends whom we haven’t seen in a while, get ready! Here we come! We’re really eager to re-connect, so please keep that in mind when you’re making your January commitments. Fit us in somewhere!

So there you have it, folks. Be in touch!
