We moved out of seminary housing in Fort Worth on the 14th. It was bittersweet. Four and a half years seemed never ending at times, but amidst the stresses and difficulties of seminary life, we made some really good friends that were super hard to leave behind. God was so gracious to give us like-minded people in the same stage of life to endure with us. We couldn't have made it without them. Although the friendships will persevere, we'll dearly miss being neighbors!
This is in our empty apartment, the last night. We had pizza with my parents and sister and 2 other families that we've become close friends with. I think our boys don't really get that we won't see our friends for a long time. It was hard to watch them all hugging, not really understanding why everyone was so sad.
Anne Marie, me, Melinda and Rachel all prayed together every other week for a time. I'm so thankful the Lord provided these friendships to challenge, pray for and encourage me.
Rick Driggers and his wife Lynette, (who regrettably I don't have a picture of) have been great to grow our love for God and each other as a married couple. They have been a godly example we won't soon forget. Their ministry to others for the sake of Christ is far reaching and has touched so many. We're thankful for all their kindness in loving us!
This is Hudson and Elliot with our neighbors John Michael and Ben. Can you say 4 peas in a pod? I think the saying says 3, but anyway, that's what they are. It will be hard not to have them right at our back door. Melinda, their mom, has been a kindred spirit as a fellow mother of 3 boys.
This was after a Halloween get-to-gether in our courtyard. I love this picture! Lucy and Henry are Brian and Anne Marie's kids. Anne Marie and I, before they moved off campus, walked miles together with our double strollers. Our kids have spent a ton of time looking at each other from a stroller view. I miss my walking buddy!Another one of the boys. Quite the biker gang!
The boys all enjoyed opening presents. Elliot and Nate both got Buzz Lightyear for Christmas. It's been the favorite.

My husband, the hottie masters grad.
We were super happy that it turned out that Mark ended up graduating with his friend Brian Curtis. He and his wife, Anne Marie, are dear friends and a cherished part of our time in Fort Worth.
The ever proud graduate.
Hudson and Elliot joined us on the big day.
