Goodbyes, See you soon, and New Beginnings

Meg had to say her final goodbye to her bestie.  I totally cried seeing these girls hug for the last time.  This sweet little lady is already missed!

 We met up with Owen's best buddy Marvin.  We wanted to get together one last time while we were on the East Coast.  These guys are growing up so fast!

 Then we had five wonderful days with family. I failed to get pics because we were just soaking up the time of being with them!

 Time to hit the road and drive.....

 quick pit stop in KS where Meg surprised her friend.  She called her and said, "Hey, I'm in the neighborhood come outside!"

We stopped by our favorite farm to see our favorite KS family.  These are dear friends and we look forward to our next visit.  

 College/life buds

 Then it was back on the road

 We rested a day in Vail, CO.  We had no idea that skiing season had just ended and 95% of the town was shut down for their break after the busy ski season.  It was a ghost town.  We enjoyed it though, we were the only ones around!

Back on the road

We also stopped at Greg Laurie's Church Harvest and caught their Sunday Service.  It was a treat to meet him.  It is always a blessing to visit his church.   

Where Owen and Meg were baptized  

These are some of our Harvest friends!  We grabbed a bite with them after the service.  They prayed over us in the parking lot before we left.  

 We MADE IT!! Hello Pacific Ocean!

 I googled a good place to eat and this tiny restaurant came up that was right on Fisherman's Wharf.  I loved this sign they had:

Our first meal in sunny CA

 And then after a few days the moving truck arrived

 We quickly found out that we will have to keep lots of quarters in the car to feed parking meters.  You have to pay for parking everywhere you go.  This sign made me smile.  I saw it on my run.

 This beautiful tree is the view from our living room.  We unpacked the last of the boxes today.  We are ready to explore the area.  Stay tuned!

Prayers appreciate in finding a church and friends for the kids.  

Reber Round-Up

We are wrapping up things here in Charleston.  I pass "Runner Man" almost everyday when I am out running.  I stopped him this week to tell him we are moving and I would miss seeing him in the mornings on our daily runs.  Funny how we never spoke until this morning and yet I felt like I knew him.  I'll really miss Runner Man.    

 There he goes!!

 Last road race here

 I saw a flyer at the local library saying Farmer Minor was coming to visit with his pig and pugs.  I had to see what this was all about.  Meg and I headed out and boy were we in for a treat!!

 Farmer Minor is a true farmer and he travels all around the U.S. taking Daisy his pig and his pugs to visit libraries to share his story and the fact that Daisy LOVES books.  She has hundreds of her very own library cards.

 Meg and I totally loved this library program and we laughed so much.

 Daisy we loved meeting you and we agree books and libraries are the BEST!!

A few of our favorites:


Meg and I love this CD by Christy Nockels.  You can find it on Amazon Prime music.

 We searched high and low for this specific essential oil.  It is the current oil in Meg's diffuser and we all love it! found it at Bed, Bath and Beyond

 Meg and I headed to our last Yoga class. We were sad because we love our Yoga instructor.  She surprised us with a going away gift... this yoga book....we plan on checking out yoga at our next location.  Her classes were a blessing!!

 These two cuties!!  I know there will be tears next week.  These girls spend hours together and have grown super close.  We are going to miss this special friend!!  Prayers for Meg... it's going to hit hard when she can't run out, grab her bike and take off.

Meg had her last riding lesson.   

 You can tell she is not super happy that this is her last visit out to the barn.

And the moving truck has arrived.   Packing and more packing.

 Outdoor picnics when your table is gone

 Poor Owen - his orthodontist put in a major appliance this week that will bring his lower jaw out.  Poor kid is in so much pain and his mouth is filled with all kinds of metal!!  After his last visit - I treated him to Smoothie King.  We had never had one of these!  Wow!! They are amazing!   Hopefully after a few days he will get use to all this new hardware in his mouth.

and that's a wrap!!
Signing off until we travel across the states to our new location
