After our return home this summer from Utah, we got an offer on our house. Although it is now November and we are still waiting for our house to close, we are hopeful it is going to go through. We started making plans to move closer into town, (which is what we have wanted for the last 3 1/2 years we have lived in Virginia) and packing our house for a local move. The day before I would have signed a new lease, I made the "out of the blue" and complete last resort decision to move back to Utah. You can imagine how shocked Austin was when he heard how I felt! So while he was gone for the month in Michigan, we made all the plans to move our belongings into storage and start a transitional face that would last 8 months. As hard as it is to leave so many of our closest friends, we do know it was the right decision for our family!
So the following pictures are some last "HOORAHS" with our friends in Tennessee!
First Payton was horrified that she would have to leave her Tennessee friends! I was so sad to take Payton out of school because she loved it so much, and the faculty loved her. We had developed a very nice comfort zone there that was very hard to leave. Her wonderful 1st Grade teacher, and her fabulous K teacher had a going away party for Payton, full of gifts, flowers and snacks! They made her feel so special, and loved. Broke my heart to take her away.
Over the course of Payton's school days she had a little boy named Adam that grew quite fond of her, he said farewell with flowers and a card.
We made our final trip to the Knoxville Zoo...
Jaxon had his last lesson with his Speech Pathologist...
A BBQ with friends...
Payton had her last soccer game...
We had one last Hoorah with the Holler...
We sure miss Tennessee!!!!!!!
