Greens to Australia

Rachel, one of my closest friends through the years, and her family recently found out that they will be moving to Sydney, Australia. It's a move mixed with emotion- joy over God providing Chris with a job teaching at a Seminary (he's worked EXTREMELY hard to find one here but it just isn't happening), and sadness because it means leaving many friends and family across the world for an unknown amount of time. We had the chance to spend some time with them and say goodbye this last weekend.
In the midst of all the moving preparation Rachel found a way to make a cake to celebrate Matt's birthday! Have you heard of "Poke Cake"....it is SOOOooo good! Thank you Rachel!

All the guys went to the park to give me and Rachel some talk time.

I think Ethan thinks mommy is a pretty good rocking chair! She IS a FABULOUS mother!!!

And Chris is an amazing daddy! We really enjoyed watching him play with their boys! This is Benjamin.

Hmmmm, we're thinking that it MUST be in God's plan for us to take a trip to Australia sometime in the next few years....since two of my closest friends will be living there (Jen and her family moved this last year)! Ya never know! :)

WE LOVE YOU GREEN FAMILY!!! AND WE'LL MISS YOU!!! we've enjoyed getting to see you three times in a year...while it lasted! see you Australia!!!
