Lately we've been soaking in our friends before moving onto new adventures. Good byes are hard but it's the incredible relationships that we've made that make them so difficult. As I said in my FaceBook post tonight "Well, it's here-my last night in Louisiana. So many thoughts are running through my head and so many feelings are being felt. 3 1/2 years ago this was Barksdale, a stop we'd make along David's career path but now, now it's home. It's seen the best of us and worst. It's given us Mardi Gras and the Fleur De Lis. But most importantly it's given us friends. The best kind of friends we could ever have. Friends who have been here for us, friends who have loved us, friends to have fun with and friends to call family. Thank you Louisiana for the beautiful gift of friends! We're gonna miss y'all!" And to quote one of my favorite movies..."Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will."
