Three and a half years ago we moved into our home thinking we would just rent it for a few months. Turns out we have the best landlord in the world and sharing just one bathroom between the 4 (and now 5) of us didn't kill us. But it is time for us to move on. Kevin recently accepted a professor position at Asbury University in Wilmore, KY and beginning sometime in June we will no longer be Hoosiers.
This was a huge decision for us. We have connections here in Anderson and it feels like home here. We have made some really great friends--the kind that we will have for life--and it it hard to move away from them. This is the only place Ada and Oliver ever remember living in. This is the community that helped us welcome Oliver into our family. This is where Cambel started his first year of school. All this is hard to leave. And change is never easy for any of us.
But we feel a true sense of peace about heading to Asbury and we are excited for this opportunity and the chance to plant roots in a new place. Kevin is excited about teaching at Asbury. We are anxious to plug ourselves into the community in Wilmore. Ada has decided that since it is horse country, she can be happy. Cambel just needs a basketball hoop and he will feel at home. And Oliver will be content anywhere with his blanket and his milk. And me? Well, I won't miss just having one bathroom, but I will miss my mom and dad being a short drive away and Anne and her family being fairly close too. I will miss my friends here terribly. And I hate to say goodbye. But I am excited about a new house and seeing the kids grow up in a smaller community. I am looking forward to seeing Kevin be a part of the growing business department at Asbury. And I am anxious to make a home for my family, because no matter where we live, that job never changes for me.
