Lake Tahoe Here We Come

The Gillespie family has big news. Kyle has accepted a job in northern Nevada and we are making the big cross-country move in January. It is a bitter-sweet decision. We will miss many things about the South and the amazing friends we've made in Demopolis. (We are thinking of packing them in the moving truck.) However, we are almost giddy to be closer to our families, mountains, and the hobbies we grew up loving.

This week has been a whirlwind. It is awesome to see two years of prayers come together in one week. We have learned so much and are so grateful for last 5 1/2 years in Alabama. We hope that we won't lose friends but instead our friends will gain a vacation destination!

















Favorite quote of the week:
Kate:'But I don't want to sell our house!'
Mom:'We have to so we can live closer to the grandmas.'
Deep reflection . . .
Kate: "I HATE this BORING house!"
Seriously, she is the funnest 2 year old around!

BOOOOOO, you don't need to be closer to family, seeing them only a few times a year makes it better. Ha, Ha, just kidding I am glad for you, I hope you sell your house soon. You will be missed!!

It is with bitter sweet congratulations that we bid you farewell on the new job and the move. We are not loosing friends and are not saying good buy, we will see you soon at our new vacation spot.
Funny how God works in mysterious ways. He answers prayer in his time not ours!
