Well, it's really not my cousin moving but my SISTER who I have called "cousin" since childhood. "Cousin Terry" to be exact. I know, weird. In a few days Erika and her family will be moving to Virginia for Medical School. I am sad to say goodbye since we have lived near each other for 5 1/2 years now but I'm excited for their adventure on the east coast! They will have to start new, in a new home, new schools, new friends. This is an opportunity for all of them to travel and learn and grow closer as a family! I have learned so much from their incredible patience, sacrifice (sold dream home which Ryan built for a rented farm house with one tiny bathroom, quit job, Erika working from home...etc.) and faith. They have 4 children and Ryan has been in the bishopric for the past 5 years! How they have done it, I don't know! That's where the patience and faith comes in. I love the fact that this was a decision "later" in life when Ryan knew what he really wanted. You guys are going to flourish out there! I can't wait to go out there to visit! I love you guys! Happy trails!

Thanks Cuz!! I'm trying not to get sad, but you just brought tears to my eyes. We will always be thankful for the party you threw us--it made us feel "special". Now, do I dare mention what YOUR name is cousin??? Ha Ha!! Love ya.
PS-Gwen and Gretel have brought back Joan and Bone from the dead--Gwen is Joan and Gretel is bone! Who ever thought of that anyway?
